National weight loss firm Slimming World is continuing to invest in its Derbyshire headquarters after revamping its offices and warehouses.
The firm, based at Alfreton, has refitted and extended buildings its head office thanks to Lincolnshire-based commercial interior fit out and construction firm APSS.
APSS has refurbished and stripped out two warehouses and associated office space, bringing two current distribution warehouses under one roof.

Slimming World was founded by Margaret Miles-Bramwell OBE 50 years ago.
Today, it has more than 19,000 weekly groups supporting 900,000 members across the 海角视频 and Ireland.
The groups are run by a network of 5,500 community-based Slimming World consultants, who receive specific training at the Derbyshire head office in the role of diet and physical activity in weight management, as well as sophisticated behaviour-change techniques.
