A WEIGHT-loss expert from Keighley has been rewarded for her work.

Andrea Astin, who has run weekly Slimming World groups at Oakworth and Haworth for the past 20 years, was among around 100 consultants from the organisation who attended a special event at the Derbyshire head office to celebrate their achievements and share ideas.

“I was delighted to be invited to this inspirational day," she said.

"I absolutely love my work and running my own successful groups.

“Having struggled with my own weight all my life, I’m passionate about helping people to transform their lives and I’m so proud of my Oakworth and Haworth members. They’re the ones who make my groups the success they are, with their fabulous commitment and the wonderful support they give each other every week."

Andrea was presented with a bouquet of flowers by Slimming World managing director, Caryl Richards, who hosted the celebratory event.

The Oakworth group meets at Holden Hall on Wednesdays, at 5pm and 7pm, and the Haworth sessions are at the Baptist Church on Thursdays, also at 5pm and 7pm.
