What Mosodi does

Mosodi is a UK-based highways and transport consultancy founded in 2018 by Steven Philips and Chris Taylor, operating from offices in Manchester and Leeds with a team of approximately 15 people. The company delivers transport planning, assessment, and implementation services to developers, NHS trusts, local authorities, and government bodies across the United Kingdom. Core services include Transport Assessments and Statements, Travel Plans, Accessibility Mapping built on GIS technology, Access Appraisals and Feasibility Studies, Environmental Impact Assessment input, Expert Witness testimony, S106 negotiation, Public Rights of Way Orders, and Construction Management Plans. The firm employs a proprietary 'decide and provide' methodology that prioritises sustainable travel investment over traditional highway expansion.

The business operates a project-based professional services model, with multi-year contracts and bespoke engagement pricing. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales: direct consulting engagements with developers and public sector clients, supplemented by event-driven community engagement (over 120 public events for Transport for Greater Manchester) and thought-leadership content via website, white papers, and industry events. Customer segments span Real Estate Developers (primary), NHS and Healthcare Providers (primary), Local Authorities and Public Sector (primary), with secondary exposure to Industrial and Logistics Operators, Mixed-Use Developments, and Student Accommodation Providers. Named enterprise clients include Harworth Group, Vistry, BAM, NHS, Aldi, Amazon, Microsoft, and Torus.

In October 2025, Mosodi expanded through the launch of Mosodi Research, a wholly-owned research division formed via strategic merger that adds evidence-based placemaking, evaluation, and applied policy insight services. The division is led by Ed Ferrari (former Professor and Director of CRESR at Sheffield Hallam University) and Maxine Gregory, both joining in 2025. Mosodi also operates the 1dayaweek behaviour-change programme, delivered across NHS sites and local authorities to encourage active travel, with reported carbon outcomes of 4,000 kg saved in 2024. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding.
