Here's to 20 Years of ViaStrada!

28th November 2025

20 years ago today, Axel Downard-Wilke and Warren Lloyd left local government to start up a new consulting company called Traffix, which then became ViaStrada. Nearly 10 years ago, John Lieswyn and then Glen Koorey came on board to start taking over the reins and ultimately becoming the new Directors. Last night we celebrated the 20th anniversary with a social gathering of staff (current and old), and industry colleagues and clients. Sadly, due to flight cancellations, Axel couldn't make it in person but he at least made an appearance virtually!

It's been an interesting ride over those two decades, with both headwinds and tailwinds at times. We've been privileged to have had some fantastic staff along the way as well, to help provide top quality designs & plans, strategies & policies, reviews & audits, training & guidelines, research & investigations, and other technical advice. We're grateful for the support of many wonderful clients and industry partners over the years and helping them to achieve their desired outcomes.

Here's to 20 years of ViaStrada, and we look forward to many more years to come!
