"This is an exciting day for our firm, our people and we believe a welcome one for the London market. The IPO has given our people a real stake in the future of our business and the control of our strategic destiny. We valued the assistance of the capital markets team at Crowe in helping us with our successful IPO. They were a pleasure to work with and we appreciated their professional and efficient approach. This marks an important and exciting chapter for MHA, and we look forward to working closely with Crowe in the future."
