Christmas really has arrived in Quorn House!

Our offices are situated in a beautiful Georgian property in the heart of Quorn in Leicestershire. We moved in there to create Rosemary Conley Diet and Fitness Clubs back in 1993. We were the first folk to buy the house as it had been previously owned for centuries by the Farnham family.

When we bought Quorn House it was in a pretty neglected state but now it is in prime condition and every square inch of the house is used for offices and our new television studio is housed in our old warehouse next door. Our forty five or so staff love driving up the magnificent tree-lined drive to the house which sits in 150 acres of unspoilt park land. The cows graze happily and contentedly on the grass. It is an idyllic setting to work and we are all very grateful that we are surrounded by such picturesque working conditions.

This year my artistic friend Jennie has spent a couple of days decorating the house for Christmas. It looks truly magnificent. Garlands are draped up the fabulous staircase, and over the hand-carved fireplaces that feature in every room. Bowls of baubles, a 10 ft Christmas tree with its twinkling lights and wreaths adorned with bows and berries finish off this festive extravaganza. And everyone is loving it.

On Friday my 50 Diet Trialists are coming for a party and BBC Radio Leicester and the Leicester Mercury (our local paper) are coming along to meet them. They will be celebrating losing a significant amount of weight this year and the fact that their lives and, more importantly, their health have changed dramatically. This year they won’t be dreading the office party. This year they will go there feeling confident and fit, happy and content that this year they have achieved something special. A new body. And that’s the best Christmas present any of them could have had.
