Slimming World has taken delivery of its 100th Lexus hybrid some three years after it decided to switch to an all-hybrid fleet.

Slimming World take delivery of their 100th Lexus at Lexus, Derby

The latest vehicle is a NX 300h compact crossover, which joins a line-up that includes the CT 200h compact hatchback, IS 300h saloon and RX 450h luxury SUV. The majority of the fleet is used by its district and field managers who work across the UK and Ireland and cover around 16,000 business miles every year.

Paul James, facilities and fleet manager at Slimming World, said: “Most of these managers are women and they are mainly visiting Slimming World groups in the evening, so it’s vitally important to us that they have a safe and reliable car. Our partnership with Lexus enables us to provide them with this as well as supporting our commitment to being environmentally responsible. And just as importantly to their drivers, the cars look good too.”

He added: “Lexus has a big Derby operation and we are committed to working with and supporting local businesses.”
