Bevan Brittan has won a new appointment to advise Cornwall County Council on the launch of a new passenger and freight ferry service between the mainland and the Isles of Scilly. The 71-partner regional firm will oversee the procurement of new vessels as well as major regeneration of the harbour areas in both Penzance and St Mary's. Property partner Martin Howe led the pitch team for Bevan Brittan. The project, which is due to be completed in 2011, has also generated a role for Plymouth-based shipping practice Davies Johnson & Co.
