THE South Somerset and South West Dorset Slimming World Team has been awarded for being one of the best in the country.
The group was named as one of the top five out of more than 400 teams across the country and they are delighted with an award they received at the Slimming World 2007 Oscar-style ceremony which took place at the ICC in Birmingham.
Members of the team who are all consultants in the Ilminster, Chard, Ilchester and Yeovil areas were at the event to pick-up the award.
The award is presented every year to the top five teams in the country that offer exceptional service to their members.
Team manager Sue Glenn said it was one of the proudest moments' of her career to go up on stage and receive the award on behalf of the group from Slimming World chairman and founder Margaret Miles-Bramwell.
Sue said: "The team works very hard to bring fun, care and support into their groups so that their members are motivated and focussed to lose weight but to also overcome not only weight issues but health issues."
