Bevan Brittan has taken the lead role on a £229m private finance initiative (PFI) to build a new hospital in Kent.

The Bristol-based firm has advised longstanding client Maidstone & Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust on the state-of-the-art, 512-bed hospital in Pembury, Kent. Projects partner Sharon Renouf led the team acting for the trust with assistance from fellow projects partner Chris Jarman and assistant Lucinda Billson.
