Our History
What’s in a name?
Our pedigree dates back to 1968 when (as Alan M Voorhees
and Associates, a UK subsidiary of American Transport Consultants)
we were appointed
to undertake a transport study for Tyne and Wear. Brian Martin,
who had been Greater London Council’s Chief Transport Planner,
was appointed as Managing Director of Voorhees’ UK operations
and after some years the company was renamed Martin and Voorhees
Associates in recognition of his role.
In 1983 the management of Martin and Voorhees Associates bought
the company from its American owners and the company’s name
was changed to MVA.
French Connections
In 1993, MVA was bought by Systra,
an international rail and urban transport consultant whose
shareholders are RATP, SNCF and a number of French Investment Banks.
Systra are represented on MVA Consultancy Ltd’s Board of Directors
by four non-executive directors. The Board meets biannually.
Independent Management
MVA’s Chief Executive and his management team
run day-to-day operations. The management team includes the company’s
Regional Directors, Technical Director, Finance Director and Head
of Human Resources.
