PwC appoints two directors to Debt and Capital advisory team

PwC has appointed two new directors to its Debt and Capital advisory team to support clients across asset-based lending, leveraged finance, and restructuring.

Julian Osborne and Craig Monks join the firm to strengthen its capabilities across the capital structure in a changing financing environment.

Osborne returns to the firm following 10 years at asset-based lending provider Wells Fargo, where he held senior roles in portfolio management and originations.

He previously spent four years in the PwC deals team, and was focusing at the time on mid-market restructuring. Osborne has 15 years of market experience across advisory and lending roles.

His transaction experience spans industries including retail, industrials, and aviation, with deal sizes ranging from £15m to £225m.

Monks, meanwhile, joins the team in Manchester from Fellwood Advisory, where he advised clients on debt transactions.

He previously spent nine years in direct lending at TDC – formerly Tosca Debt Capital – where he helped grow assets under management to approximately £1bn.

Monks, who began his career at EY, has experience raising cashflow facilities ranging from £10m to £100m for privately owned and sponsor-backed businesses.

Lucy Stapleton, global and UK head of deals, said: “We are delighted to welcome Julian and Craig to the team. Their combined experience across asset-based lending, direct lending and debt advisory further enhances our ability to support clients in navigating an increasingly complex financing landscape.”
