A young entrepreneur based in Stoke Climsland has been named one of Cornwall’s top ‘30 Under 30’.

Daniel Rodia has ‘dramatically increased’ the efficiency of his workplace, Total Energy Solutions, over the past year, said owner Kathryn Carnegie.

The 27-year-old has taken over all the company’s IT and financial operations, has rebranded the business and has established an online presence.

He has also boosted revenue by establishing direct relationships with utility companies.

But Daniel says while he is delighted to be a winner, he feels he has ‘just been doing his job’.

The new awards scheme Cornwall 30 Under 30 has been launched by the Cornwall Chamber of Commerce to recognise the county’s brightest young talents in business.
