Leading transport specialist MVA Consultancy has appointed a new Divisional Director to strengthen its growing business consulting division.
 Derek Moore joins MVA’s 450-strong staff as part of the senior management team, where he will lead the business consultants in advising clients in both the public and private sectors such as investment banks, transport operators, DfT, Network Rail and airport operators.
Derek will broaden and deepen the company's capabilities in devising and supporting change to clients’ strategy, organisational design, and performance improvement programmes. MVA has grown rapidly in these fields in recent years with revenue growth in 2006 of 59%.
Bringing to MVA a wealth of experience spanning three decades, Derek joins MVA from his most recent position at IBM Global Business Services as Associate Partner and formerly at PwC Consulting.
His impressive track record of performance improvement, achieving turnaround and developing corporate business and operations strategies gained through management and consultancy assignments will be invaluable in the continued growth of the business consultancy division.
MVA has advised on the implementation of smart card ticketing in
Scotland, First Group, Arriva and others on rail franchise bids in
the UK and Denmark, and toll roads in France, Ireland and the UK
for Bouygues, Cintra Concessions (Ferrovial) Eiffage and Vinci. MVA
has now responded to the changing needs of clients by expanding its
business consultancy division, focusing on supporting them through
the whole process to maximise the potential of their own businesses.
Derek said: “Leaders aspire to scale new ambitions whilst addressing
rising expectations and still unresolved dilemmas. MVA will
seek to support them through a combination of specific industry insights, robust
analysis, honest challenge, and practical solutions."
At IBM Derek Moore was latterly focused on building its service business enhancing freight logistics providers globally.
He contributed to two published points of view on performance change and was respected within IBM for the lead he took in building capabilities to match clients' needs.
Nigel Ash, Chief Executive of MVA, added: “We are constantly developing our approach to deliver increasing quality and value to our clients through joined up thinking and drawing on the excellence of our expertise across many disciplines.”
“Derek’s ‘blue chip’ management consultancy experience will be invaluable in providing leadership to our business consulting division, which is one of our fastest growing businesses and is a key part of our overall business development plan.
