Weight-loss consultants Sue Smith and Kate Johnson have turned the empty shop in New Street, Oakengates into a Cambridge Diet Weight Plan Centre.

And they hope those shedding pounds will donate to a trust set up in memory of murdered 17-year-old Georgia Williams.

The pair, who both work as independent consultants for the diet scheme, decided to share the premises in the hopes that it would bring the Cambridge products to a wider audience in Telford.

Both women have tried the diet themselves, with Sue losing two and a half stone and Kate losing three stone.

Kate said she first had the idea when she saw the diet on ITV2's hit programme The Only Way Is Essex.

She said: "After seeing it on television, I researched it and found out a friend had lost nine stone on the diet. A light came on in my head."

After achieving success on the diet, both women became consultants, and hope the expansion into new premises will bring customers from all over area.

The business is already operational although the pair are still waiting for the finished sign for their shop front.

They have also decided to use their new shop to help support the Georgia Williams Trust which helps young people to make a difference.

The shop will officially open on Saturday.
