BIG NEWS....... I'm moving to a bigger island!!!!

I'm excited to announce that new opportunities have presented themselves and I will be embarking on another adventure and relocating to Sydney!

Part of the process unfortunately, means that from mid-May Creative Escape as you know it will no longer be operating in Singapore. However, we will be here for you and in business until then. . .

. . .But nothing would mean more to me than to see Creative Escape continue beyond this!!

So...? Does this open an exciting opportunity for you or someone out there? Would you or someone you know like to jump at the chance to own your own Creative Escape? All it needs is a little imagination and spark and you could be taking Creative Escape into a new chapter!!

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you are interested in this rare opportunity.

Creative Escape has been a labor of love for me for almost five years. It has been an incredibly rewarding journey and unbelievable learning experience. I have watched my dream of Creative Escape come true and to have had the honour of sharing it with all of you, some of the most colourful and creative people I have met.

Thank You and I will miss it!!!

Sincerely,

Arden Williams
