In late 2001, Manning and Morrell, with George Lungley, formed SmoothWall Limited as a UK registered private limited company, company number 04298247. The company was formed to take the open source software and commercialise it, by expanding the software to include corporate and enterprise oriented functionality, and to provide dedicated support staff for customers to contact.
Based in Leeds and Southampton, with USA offices in Charlotte, NC and Irvine, CA, the company has continued to develop the commercial, closed source Smoothwall product range, while moving from its initial direct sales model to a reseller, channel-based sales model.
In 2010, the company changed logos from the original, designed in 2000 by Toni Kuokkanen, and removed the camelCase of the product and company name.

Famous quotes containing the word limited:
“It is not impossible, of course, after such an administration as Roosevelt’s and after the change in method that I could not but adapt in view of my different way of looking at things, that questions should arise as to whether I should go back on the principles of the Roosevelt administration.... I have a government of limited power under a Constitution, and we have got to work out our problems on the basis of law. Now, if that is reactionary, then I am a reactionary.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
