Tom Harrison CEO

1842

Charles James Weedon commenced business as an auctioneer, sharebroker and general merchant trading as C.J. Weedon and Co. Within a few years this business became the largest auctioneer business in Launceston as extensive properties passed through his hands. The early history of Launceston and the surrounding country was largely represented in these transactions. Charles was also the director of the bank of Tasmania and member of the Legislative Council and in 1852 when Launceston was proclaimed a municipality was elected one of the original seven Aldermen.

THE HISTORY

joined in the business by his son Hardwicke Weedon. Apart

Hardwicke was a member of many company boards which included the Launceston Bank

Launceston Gas Company. He was also a Commissioner of the Supreme Court of Tasmania.

1900

In 1900 C.J Weedon’s grandson, Percival A. Harrison joined the firm, continuing the family tradition within the industry. Percy was a prominent Tasmanian business identity not only from his tenure with C.J. Weedon but at board level of many publicly listed companies which included the Mount Bischoff Mining Company. Percy was also Chairman of the Launceston Stock Exchange.

1933

In 1933, Percival’s son Charles A Harrison, known as Tom, a great grandson of C. J. Weedon joined the firm. Tom’s career was interrupted by WWII where he served in the Middle East in the battle of El Alamein. Upon his return to Launceston, Tom served as president of the state’s Real Estate Institute and was a board member of the Cornwall Coal Mining company which is still operating today.

1984

Tom Harrison’s son Robert M Harrison, a great great grandson of C. J. Weedon left the Weedon business, and formed another real estate firm Harrison Humphreys with Gordon Humphreys. To this day, Robert is a well known real estate identity and was a board member of many Tasmanian and Australian property related institutions highlighted by his time as President of the Northern branch of the Real Estate Institute of Tasmania.

2021 ~ Harrison Humphreys was rebranded as Harrison Agents with Robert’s son and 6th generation real estate principal Thomas A Harrison (also known as Tom) now at the helm. The organisation’s Hobart office was opened later that year in Salamanca Square, Battery Point with the brand servicing both the North and South of the state.
