Partner
A client says: "Penny is a first class lead project partner. She provides real strategic direction while retaining a keen eye for the most complex detail. Always helpful and approachable, Penny's negotiating skills make her an invaluable ally but a formidable opponent."
Penny heads up the Birmingham Projects team and works on multi sector accommodation Private Finance Initiative ("PFI") and Public Private Partnership ("PPP") projects.
Penny's expertise lies in the wider leisure, library and
joint service centre market and has recently widened further
to again include housing. Penny's continued interest and
work in the "regeneration" market is particularly topical in
light of the Government's place making agenda and
integration of community service delivery with commerce and
sustainability in mind.
My Background
I originally trained in Birmingham and qualified in October
1995. I worked in Dubai as a legal consultant for three
years before moving to a niche Mayfair firm working as a
Commercial Corporate Lawyer. I joined Bevan Ashford on 29
February 2000 and have been a Partner at Bevan Brittan LLP
since September 2005.
What I do
I specialise in leisure, library, JSC and housing PFI and
PPP schemes but also have considerable experience in health
and schools projects.
Some examples
I worked closely with 4Ps on the standardisation of project
documents for leisure schemes, producing the Leisure
Procurement Pack and, most recently, updating the Leisure
Procurement Pack.
I advised the Private Sector Consortium who closed the first
leisure PFI, Sefton MBC and I advised the public sector on
all four of the leisure pathfinder PFI projects, all of
which have since closed (Penwith, Lewisham, Breckland and
Amber Valley).
I am advising on a number of other regeneration schemes for
both public and private sector clients. For example, I
advised Rotherham MBC on its multi-site leisure and joint
service centre scheme for the replacement and re-generation
of the Borough’s entire network of wet and dry sports
facilities. The scheme involved a number of different
stakeholders and interface with a school delivered through a
separate PFI. I also advised the Parkwood consortium on the
Tudor Grange and Norman Green and North Solihull Sports
Centre PPP project (new build and refurbishment) which is
due to open this year. I am currently working with Councils
looking to widen their options to deliver accommodation and
housing projects using existing procurement programmes such
as LIFT, BSF, Design, Build, Operate and Maintain (DBOM) and
Social Enterprise Vehicles.
