The 1923 grouping meant that former rivals within the LNER had to work together. The task of creating an instantly recognisable public image went to William M. Teasdale, the first advertising manager. Teasdale was influenced by the philosophies and policies of <a href="/wiki/Frank_Pick" title="Frank Pick">Frank Pick</a>, who controlled the style and content of the London Underground's widely acclaimed poster advertising. Teasdale did not confine his artists within strict guidelines but allowed them a free hand. <a href="/wiki/William_Barribal" title="William Barribal">William Barribal</a> designed a series of bold <a href="/wiki/Art_Deco" title="Art Deco">Art Deco</a> posters in the 1920s and 1930s.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEColeDurack1992128_21-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEColeDurack1992128-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> When Teasdale was promoted to Assistant General Manager, this philosophy was carried on by Cecil Dandridge who succeeded him and was the Advertising Manager until nationalisation in 1948. Dandridge was largely responsible for the adoption of the Gill Sans typeface, later adopted by British Railways. </p><p>The LNER was a very industrial company: hauling more than a third of Britain's coal, it derived two thirds of its income from freight. Despite this, the main image presented was one of glamour, of fast trains and sophisticated destinations. Advertising was highly sophisticated and advanced compared with those of its rivals. Teasdale and Dandridge commissioned top graphic designers and poster artists such as <a href="/wiki/Tom_Purvis" title="Tom Purvis">Tom Purvis</a> to promote its services and encourage the public to visit the holiday destinations of the east coast in the summer. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Chief_office_holders">Chief office holders</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=London_and_North_Eastern_Railway&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Chief office holders"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Chairmen_of_the_Board">Chairmen of the Board</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=London_and_North_Eastern_Railway&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Chairmen of the Board"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/William_Whitelaw_(Perth_MP)" title="William Whitelaw (Perth MP)">William Whitelaw</a> 1923 - 1938</li> <li>Sir Ronald Matthews 1938<sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> - 1948</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Chief_General_Managers">Chief General Managers</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=London_and_North_Eastern_Railway&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Chief General Managers"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Sir_Ralph_Wedgwood" class="mw-redirect" title="Sir Ralph Wedgwood">Sir Ralph Wedgwood</a> 1923 - 1939</li> <li>Charles Henry Newton 1939<sup id="cite_ref-23" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> - 1947</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Miles_Beevor" title="Miles Beevor">Miles Beevor</a> 1947 - 1948 (acting)</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Chief_mechanical_engineers">Chief mechanical engineers</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=London_and_North_Eastern_Railway&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Chief mechanical engineers"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Flying_Scotsman_in_Doncaster.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/39/Flying_Scotsman_in_Doncaster.JPG/220px-Flying_Scotsman_in_Doncaster.JPG" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/39/Flying_Scotsman_in_Doncaster.JPG/330px-Flying_Scotsman_in_Doncaster.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/39/Flying_Scotsman_in_Doncaster.JPG/440px-Flying_Scotsman_in_Doncaster.JPG 2x" data-file-width="1280" data-file-height="960" /></a><figcaption>The most famous of the A1/A3 Class locomotives, A3 4472 <i><a href="/wiki/LNER_Class_A3_4472_Flying_Scotsman" title="LNER Class A3 4472 Flying Scotsman">Flying Scotsman</a></i></figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Mallard_locomotive_625.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d5/Mallard_locomotive_625.jpg/220px-Mallard_locomotive_625.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="158" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d5/Mallard_locomotive_625.jpg/330px-Mallard_locomotive_625.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d5/Mallard_locomotive_625.jpg/440px-Mallard_locomotive_625.jpg 2x" data-file-width="625" data-file-height="449" /></a><figcaption>A4 Pacific <i><a href="/wiki/LNER_Class_A4_4468_Mallard" title="LNER Class A4 4468 Mallard">Mallard</a></i>, world speed record holder for steam traction</figcaption></figure> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Sir_Nigel_Gresley" class="mw-redirect" title="Sir Nigel Gresley">Sir Nigel Gresley</a> was the first CME and held the post for most of the LNER's existence, and thus he had the greatest effect on the company.
