Tamla Records, the first label in the Motown group, was formed in January 1959. Motown is still going, currently as part of the Universal Music Group, but it ceased to be an independent company in June 1988 when founder Berry Gordy Jr. sold the business to MCA for $61 million.
Yes, most definitely
Tamla Motown was the name used to market Motown Records' music in the United Kingdom during the 1960s. It combined the Tamla label, which was one of the original labels of Motown, with the Motown brand to promote its artists and recordings across the Atlantic. This branding helped popularize Motown's distinctive sound and artists, such as The Supremes and Marvin Gaye, in the UK and beyond, contributing significantly to the global reach of the Motown label.

There was a Motown division called Tamla-Motown, that distributed US recordings as well as a number of UK labels under it's umbrella such as Gull. The 1960's Motown started in the UK by using various labels: Stateside, Fontana, London and Oriole before starting it's own Tamla-Motown label.
The name Tamla originated from the first name of Motown founder Berry Gordy's sister, Tamara, combined with the first two letters of the word "Omni," reflecting the label's goal of encompassing all types of music. The Tamla label later evolved into the iconic Motown Records.

Motown Records was formed in August 1959, and the Motown Record Corporation (the group company which operated both those labels, and which most people are thinking of when they say "Motown") was incorporated in April 1960.
motown +++ When it first appeared, back in the 1960s, the word "Motown" was often prefixed with the name "Tamla". A style notable for strong melodies and arrangements, and tight rhythms.
