Emma McCalla-John
A former Birmingham teacher of 20 years, transitioned to the business world and recently won the prestigious Great British Franchisee Award 2023. She now owns Creation Station Harborne, a standout franchise in a competitive industry.
Emma’s passion for nurturing children’s creativity and development earned her the franchise from Creation Station’s CEO, Sarah Cressall. She runs 20 after-school clubs, hosts events, and plans to launch holiday camps while actively supporting local charities. This all helped with her Great British Franchisee Award 2023 entry.
Six years into her franchise journey, Emma expanded to a third postcode area, staying committed to promoting creativity in schools. Her music background and motivation to inspire children drive her dedication.
This award recognizes Emma’s pursuit of her passion, and she finds fulfillment in the saying, “When you do what you love, work becomes a joy.”
