REBECCA Wootton from The Creation Station in Farnham is in the running to be crowned Top Franchisee of the Year in Workingmums.co.uk’s Top Franchise Awards 2017.

The Top Franchise Awards are sponsored by HSBC plc and celebrate both inspirational franchisees and franchisors who have empowered women in business – not only by providing a successful flexible business model, but by giving franchisees the advice and support they need to succeed.

The Franchisee of the Year Award recognises franchisees for their achievements in the last 12 months. From exceptional customer service to overcoming challenges, the public are voting on the franchisee they feel deserves recognition.

Rebecca from The Creation Station (the UK’s leading and award winning arts and crafts activity company for children) said: “It’s absolutely fantastic to be recognised by Workingmums.co.uk, for all the dedication and hard work that goes into running a business and being a mum.

“I have so much fun getting creative and painty with all the children and parents that come to my classes. To win the award would just be the extra glitter on top of it all.”

Gillian Nissim, founder of Workingmums.co.uk said: “Shortlisting for the Franchisee of the Year Award was difficult and this year’s list is longer than last, reflecting the number of entries we received and the high calibre of entrants. We hope they will serve as an inspiration to other parents thinking of setting up as franchisees.
