A major decision was that the Society should engage a professional conductor and in 1946, following the resignation of TH Crowther, William Rees took up the post.

His appointment marked a definite turning-point: from then on, the orchestra's rise to its present eminence as one of the country's leading non-professional orchestras was steady and assured.
