| Employer Craven Street Capital is an independent corporate finance business. Our culture is built on a bedrock of strong relationships with our clients, other professionals and our employees. We are collaborative in our approach and value innovative and creative thinking and most of all have a passion for what we do. Craven Street Capital was formed from the management buyout of PSource Capital Limited ("PCL") in April 2017. The management team has a 12 year track record operating as PCL, which was originally established in 2006 as the fund management and corporate finance business of Punter Southall Group, which remains a minority shareholder and client. Craven Street Capital operates principally in financial services, but also has a strong track record in cleantech and healthcare. We undertake a broad range of advisory mandates that include M&A (including public takeovers), IPOs, private placements, asset sales, debt financings including project finance, seeding funds and complex deal structuring. Deals typically range in size from £10m-£1bn. We look to have long term, multi-deal relationships with a small number of clients in our selected sectors. Craven Street Capital is a dynamic, high-growth corporate finance business which is growing organically by hiring junior employees every six months and developing and progressing staff within the company.
