Ancient House Printing Group has been acquired by an investment group that has ambitions to become the largest private company in the UK.

The purchaser, RDCP Group, was founded in 2015 by Sameer Rizvi and Iryna Dubylovska who were both previously investment bankers at RBS.
Since then, the group has made 15 acquisitions that have been consolidated into four businesses spanning care homes, construction engineering, the Chilango Mexican restaurant chain, and real estate.
The Ancient House buy, for an undisclosed sum, takes its number of operations up to five, and increases RDCP’s enterprise value up to £140m.
