completed 21 transactions, averaging \u00a350m per deal, in the two years since its inception.<\/p>\n<p>Jonathan Broome, head of debt advisory at Zeus Capital, said: \u201cWhen we started the debt advisory team in 2018, we knew there was a real opportunity to add value to Zeus Capital\u2019s client base, and strengthen its high-quality service offering.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It has been a real pleasure to be able to support more than 20 ambitious management teams over the last two years, working on some significant transactions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The team of three has provided debt advisory services across a broad range of transaction types, including acquisition financings, re-financings, covenant amendments, balance sheet restructurings and lender education processes.<\/p>\n<p>Almost all of the firm\u2019s debt advisory transactions had private equity involvement, working with clients including Mayfair Equity Partners, Vitruvian Partners, Graphite Capital Partners, Phoenix Equity Partners and ECI.<\/p>\n<p>They have been particularly active during the lockdown period caused by Covid-19, completing five transactions since March, primarily assisting companies to raise liquidity lines as well as assisting in restructuring their banking facilities.<\/p>\n<p>Broome added: \u201cWe have a strong pipeline of activity for the remainder of 2020 and beyond, and our focus will continue to be on maintaining our track record of completing a deal a month going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zeus Capital created team two years ago to support
