Our next entrant is a sole trader who helps people to change their lives, improving their confidence and increasing their mental and physical wellbeing. Karen Richardson is an Independent Consultant, offering one-to-one weight loss support and motivation as she takes clients through the Cambridge Weight Plan steps.
Karen gave an overview of what her consultations involve and her personal journey to becoming an independent consultant: “There are six different weight loss plans alongside nutritionally balanced meal replacement products. The plan my client follows depends on their lifestyle and medical history. I weigh them and take several measurements each week to help them see what they are achieving. I also take pictures at the start and then following each stone that is lost as often my clients can’t see the loss in themselves but a picture shows it really well. I totally believe in the plans and having lost weight myself with Cambridge Weight Plan I am living proof that you can lose weight and keep it off. I use my own experience and my passion for what I have achieved to motivate my clients.”
Initially starting as a part-time venture, Karen has been full-time within the business since January of last year. In that time she has grown her clients from 18 per week to over 55 per week – an incredible achievement. Outside of her own business growth, Karen won an award at the company’s conference in November and has been recognised as an ambassador for Cambridge, having been invited to attend a function in Downing Street to discuss how Obesity can be tackled. Five of Karen’s clients who have reached their goal weight have also gone on to become consultants, helping others achieve their weight loss goals.
When asked why she felt that her business deserved to be recognised at the Swale Business Awards she replied: “I have put my heart and soul into developing my business over the last 12-18 months, delivering excellent customer service and increasing my client numbers. It’s such a privilege being part of someone’s life and being able to help them through what can be a challenging time. Winning a Swale Business Award would just be incredible and something that I would both treasure and use to drive me and my team forward to greater things.”
