The British Dyestuffs Corporation underwent changes in leadership, with Sir Joseph Turner and Dr. Herbert Levinstein being replaced as managing directors by Sir Henry Birchenough, Sir William Alexander, and Mr. Vernon Clay. This shift in management occurred after the company's formation in 1919 through the merger of British Dyes, Ltd., and Messrs. Levinstein, Ltd. The goal was to combine the expertise of both groups for the benefit of the corporation.
