Promotion is milestone in college history
A ROYAL Navy officer from Penzance has become the first female appointed to the post of First Lieutenant at the historic Britannia Royal Naval College.
Lieutenant-Commander Zoe Briant-Evans, who went to Humphry Davy School, will now be responsible for the running of the Dartmouth-based college, which provides initial naval training to members of the Officer Corps. She posted to the college in 2011 as a squadron officer with direct responsibility for training cadets before she was promoted.
