The erection of 47 kit homes on a site in Corby represents the first housing development of an ambitious young entrepreneur seeking to take the market by storm.Joseph Daniels from Essex already has 27 directorships under his belt and he is still only 26 years old. One of his ventures, Project Etopia, has secured £3m backing from hedge fund speculator Stanley Fink earlier this year – a man who earned his seat in the House of Lords after donating millions to the Tory party (and raising millions more).Joseph Daniels’ other businesses include E-Smart Home Systems, E-Airway Ltd, Omnia Group, Vaxis Ltd and Edge Systems Group, to name but a few.Project Etopia wants to build homes from modular kits using structural insulated panels, to be made in a new factory set to open in Deeside in January.
