The awards just kept coming for Truro and Penwith College’s outstanding alumni at this year’s prestigious Cornwall Chamber of Commerce 30 Under 30 Awards.
Congratulations were in full flow as nearly half of this year’s winners previously studied at the College, highlighting the strength of Cornwall’s emerging young business talent.
The annual awards celebrate individuals making a significant impact within Cornwall’s business community, with former students now building successful careers across sectors including software engineering, hospitality, finance, renewable energy and design.
Among those recognised this year were Robyn Coatsworth from Mousehole Deli & Kitchen, Christian Dove from Hertzian, Florence Tebutt from Naked Solar Ltd and Jack Spittal, who studied on a bespoke programme for Cormac.
Leadership and Management Lecturer at the College, Richie Greenhalgh, said he recognised his award-winning learners’ mindset for success from the outset:
“It was clear from the start they represented exactly what we would hope for as ‘future leaders’ shaping the workplace.
Their willingness to reflect and share ideas and experiences was a real benefit and their participation on the programme offered huge benefits for all other attendees.”
Their achievements reflect the strength of Cornwall’s growing business community and the important role local education continues to play in developing skilled young professionals who are helping shape the region’s future economy.
Through strong partnerships with employers across Cornwall, Truro and Penwith College equips students with industry experience, practical skills and professional connections to help them succeed in their chosen careers.
New Principal Carl Riding was also delighted to present awards on the night, joining business leaders from across the county in celebrating Cornwall’s rising stars.
Hayley McKinstry, who attended the awards ceremony, said:
“Congratulations to all the winners, who truly showcased Cornwall’s bright young talent. We were especially delighted to see so many former students recognised, reinforcing the College’s commitment to developing local talent and highlighting the exceptional work of our staff, employers and students alike.”
Truro and Penwith College continues to support the next generation of talent in Cornwall, while also helping adults looking to upskill, retrain or explore new career opportunities.
