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
SA,
an international rail and urban transport consultant whose
shareholders are RATP and SNCF.
Board of Directors
The Board comprises five directors, three non-executive
directors: Andre Ohnheiser (Chairman), Pierre Verzat, and Bruno Schmitt,
the Chief Executive, Derek Moore and Company Secretary, Michael Prager. The
Board meets biannually.
Management Team
MVA’s Chief Executive and his management team
run day-to-day operations. The management team includes the company’s
Divisional Directors, Technical Director, and Finance Director.
