A successful partnership built on growth, innovation, and long-term value creation.

We are pleased to announce that our portfolio company MCA Connect has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Grant Thornton.

Since partnering with MCA Connect, RLH has had the privilege of working alongside an exceptional management team dedicated to helping manufacturing and distribution organizations navigate digital transformation. During the partnership, MCA strengthened its leadership position within the Microsoft ecosystem, expanded its capabilities across digital transformation and AI-enabled solutions, and continued to build a culture centered on operational excellence and client outcomes.

MCA Connect's success reflects many of the characteristics RLH seeks in founder-led, knowledge-based enterprises: deep industry expertise, strong client relationships, differentiated capabilities, and a commitment to building enduring value.

David Durham, Chief Executive Officer of MCA Connect, commented "RLH has been an exceptional partner to MCA Connect throughout this important chapter of growth. Their strategic guidance, commitment to culture, and long-term perspective helped us accelerate our capabilities and scale the business while remaining focused on delivering meaningful results for our clients and creating opportunities for our team."

Murray Rudin, Managing Director at RLH Equity Partners, added "MCA Connect represents exactly the type of founder-led, knowledge-based enterprise we seek to support at RLH. David Durham, Claude Watson, and the entire MCA team built an extraordinary organization distinguished by deep industry expertise, exceptional client relationships, and an award-winning culture."

This transaction represents another milestone in RLH's more than 40-year history of partnering with entrepreneurs to build market-leading services businesses benefiting from technology-driven change.

We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with the MCA Connect team and look forward to their continued success in this next chapter with Grant Thornton.
