It slowly gathered other regional and overseas organisations and was incorporated by Royal Charter in 1923.
In 1965, it merged with the British Employers' Confederation and the National Association of British Manufacturers to form the Confederation of British Industry. It was by far the biggest organisation of the three, composed of about 9,000 individual firms and 272 trade associations by 1964.
