History
Founded in 1968 under the name "Alan M. Voorhees and Associates," this UK branch of American Transport Consultants initially focused on a transportation study commissioned by the Tyne and Wear Metropolitan Council. Brian Martin, who previously served as Chief Transport Planner for the Greater London Council, assumed the role of Managing Director for the UK division, prompting a renaming to Martin and Voorhees Associates.
In 1983, company leadership purchased the firm from its American proprietors and subsequently adopted the name MVA.
