I found the code quoted Below to generate multiple sheets from a template
ive got that working but id like to be able to also Generate 1x Workbook + name the workbook, then Move(so they would only exsist in new workbook, so not a copy) all the sheets that have been generated into the new workbook(only the generated pages).
Can anyone suggest a simple method of achieving this.

p.s Thanks @jbeaucaire for the awesome code :)
Try this:
Code:
Option Explicit

Sub SheetsFromTemplate()
Dim wsMASTER As Worksheet, wsTEMP As Worksheet, wasVISIBLE As Boolean
Dim shNAMES As Range, Nm As Range

With ThisWorkbook                                               'keep focus in this workbook
    Set wsTEMP = .Sheets("Template")                            'sheet to be copied
    wasVISIBLE = (wsTEMP.Visible = xlSheetVisible)              'check if it's hidden or not
    If Not wasVISIBLE Then wsTEMP.Visible = xlSheetVisible      'make it visible
   
    Set wsMASTER = .Sheets("Master")                            'sheet with names
                                                                'range to find names to be checked
    Set shNAMES = wsMASTER.Range("B3:B" & Rows.Count).SpecialCells(xlConstants)     'or xlFormulas
   
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False                              'speed up macro
    For Each Nm In shNAMES                                          'check one name at a time
        If Not Evaluate("ISREF('" & CStr(Nm.Text) & "'!A1)") Then   'if sheet does not exist...
            wsTEMP.Copy After:=.Sheets(.Sheets.Count)               '...create it from template
            ActiveSheet.Name = CStr(Nm.Text)                        '...rename it
        End If
    Next Nm
   
    wsMASTER.Activate                                           'return to the master sheet
    If Not wasVISIBLE Then wsTEMP.Visible = xlSheetHidden       'hide the template if necessary
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True                           'update screen one time at the end
End With

MsgBox "All sheets created"
End Sub

This code will create the new sheets in a new workbook, you'll need to add code to save the new workbook.
VBA Code:
Option Explicit

Sub SheetsFromTemplate()
Dim wbNew As Workbook
Dim wsMASTER As Worksheet, wsTEMP As Worksheet, wasVISIBLE As Boolean
Dim shNAMES As Range, Nm As Range
    
    With ThisWorkbook                                                   'keep focus in this workbook
        Set wsTEMP = .Sheets("Template")                                'sheet to be copied
        wasVISIBLE = (wsTEMP.Visible = xlSheetVisible)                  'check if it's hidden or not
        If Not wasVISIBLE Then wsTEMP.Visible = xlSheetVisible          'make it visible
        
        Set wsMASTER = .Sheets("Master")                                'sheet with names
        'range to find names to be checked
        Set shNAMES = wsMASTER.Range("B3:B" & Rows.Count).SpecialCells(xlConstants)     'or xlFormulas
        
        Application.ScreenUpdating = False                              'speed up macro
        For Each Nm In shNAMES                                          'check one name at a time
            If Not Evaluate("ISREF('" & CStr(Nm.Text) & "'!A1)") Then   'if sheet does not exist...
                If wbNew Is Nothing Then
                    wsTEMP.Copy                                         '...create it from template
                    Set wbNew = ActiveWorkbook
                    wbNew.Sheets(1).Name = CStr(Nm.Text)                '...rename it
                Else
                    wsTEMP.Copy After:=wbNew.Sheets(wbNew.Sheets.Count)
                    wbNew.Sheets(wbNew.Sheets.Count).Name = CStr(Nm.Text)
                End If
            End If
        Next Nm
        
        wsMASTER.Activate                                               'return to the master sheet
        If Not wasVISIBLE Then wsTEMP.Visible = xlSheetHidden           'hide the template if necessary
        Application.ScreenUpdating = True                               'update screen one time at the end
        
    End With
    
    MsgBox "All sheets created"
    
End Sub
