The UK's leading children's activity franchise The Creation Station announces the award of 23 new franchises to women in the first 5 months of 2011. This brings the total number of Creation Station franchises in the UK to over 45 and makes the business one of the fastest growing franchise businesses in the UK.

The reason for this phenomenal growth is due to demand for the unique arts and crafts experiences that the franchise owners deliver, including award winning classes, parties and events. The business has the added benefit that franchise owners, many of whom are mothers, can take their children to the classes.

Carly Miller, franchise owner in Bracknell stated: “My business is going from strength to strength and, having previously worked full time, I never dreamt I could be running such a successful business whilst also having so much time with my 14 month old daughter. I was a bit nervous when I started as I didn't really know anything about franchising, but all the support and help from head office and the other franchisees has been really great.”

To support the growth of the business The Creation Station has just recruited a new franchise manager, Mr Ian Ballinger whose role will be to support the network of franchise owners.
