The company was led by William Alexander Smith until he resigned suddenly on March 30th 1899, only three years after Maitland-Smith was officially formed. This event shook up the entire organization. It marked a significant change in direction and culture for this prestigious interior design firm. In reality, there had been concerns about Mr. Smith's management style that lingered among senior staff members before his untimely resignation. They feared that his abrasive leadership would ultimately harm their well-established business relationships with influential clients in the UK market. Mr. Maitland-Smith assumed full control following Mr. Alexander Smith's hasty exit, thus assuming a completely new vision for this iconic company and its high-end clientele. To further emphasize this change, he brought on renowned designer William Plenderleith to join his team of talented artists.
