In 1893 the firm was converted into a private company, Mr BELLIS becoming the Chairman and Mr MORCOM the Managing Director. When the Chairman retired in 1904, Alfred succeeded him. His obituary states "The success of the firm has been due to a gradually built up reputation for thoughtful and able design and perfect workmanship, and the credit for this achievement has been largely the result of the inventive energy and ability shown by Mr MORCOM in the management of the works and in the training of the staff."As the engineer responsible, Alfred MORCOM attended a trial of the first torpedo catcher vessel off Portsmouth in Febraury 1885.In December 1887 Bellis & Morcom won the contract for triple expansion engines for HMS Sarpshooter - the lightest engines of the same power in existence..
