He was later in partnership with Guy Llewellyn Morgan and Duckworth Roberts as Guy Morgan & Partners. in London. The partnership was dissolved in February 1937 and White immediately formed a new partnership with Keith Murray (1892-1981) as Keith Murray & C. S. White (Murray & White). In 1937 they were commissioned to design the new Wedgwood factory at Barlston in Staffordshire (built 1938-40).

In 1945 Murray set up the architectural practice Murray, Ward & Partners with Basil Ward (1902-1976). By 1950 Murray and White had formed a new partnership with Stanley Churchill Ramsey (1882-1968) which operated as Ramsey, Murray & White [Ward's name did not appear in the title of the practice]. In 1955 Ward became a partner in the practice which was renamed Ramsey, Murray, White & Ward.  The firm designed numerous industrial and office buildings, including the Hong Kong air terminal and the British European Airways engineering base in London airport.
