History

MVA started in 1968 as "Alan M Voorhees and Associates", a UK subsidiary of American Transport Consultants, and was appointed to undertake a transport study for Tyne and Wear Metropolitan Council. 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.
