First Lieutenant Zoe takes up post at naval college
A Royal Navy officer from Cornwall has become the first female appointed to the post of First Lieutenant at the historic Britannia Royal Naval College.
Lieutenant Commander Zoe Briant-Evans, from Penzance, will now be responsible for the day-to-day running of the Dartmouth-based college, which provides initial naval training to members of the Officer Corps. She was originally posted to college in 2011 as a squadron officer with direct responsibility for training cadets before she was promoted.
Speaking of her role, she said: "It is a real honour to be the First Lieutenant at BRNC. Although we now have women in many roles within the Royal Navy, including in command of warships, I am very proud to be the first female officer to serve in this uniquely challenging position at the naval college."
The former pupil of Humphry Davy School chose a career in the Navy after being a member of the Cambridge University Royal Naval Unit, joining during her final year at Anglia Polytechnic University where she studied geography.
