History
Movement Strategies Limited was formerly Evacuation Strategies Limited. Evacuation Strategies was founded in 2005 by Simon Ancliffe, its current Managing Director, after spinning it out from Crowd Dynamics Limited, where Simon was a Director.
The original focus of the business was on helping businesses, events, and cities plan for evacuation or invacuation (internal shelter) in the event of an emergency, based on the insights developed by Simon Ancliffe while developing the mass evacuation plans for the Canary Wharf business district after 9/11 and other clients.
However, the majority of its clients were was derived from planning for major new infrastructure projects most notably design for all stations on the new Dubai Metro, and for the Olympic Park, London for the 2012 Games. This led to a change of emphasis and the company was rebranded Movement Strategies in 2008.
Since then its wide-ranging work on the London 2012 Olympics has helped it grow and expand, opening a Scandanavian office in 2011, led by Jorgen Aass, and operating world-wide on some of the most challenging crowd planning projects world-wide.
