WORLDWIDE WOOL EXPERTS SINCE 1888

For over 130 years, H. Dawson has been a leader in the international wool trade. Founded by Harry Dawson in 1888, the company quickly grew to become one of the largest and most respected wool brokers in the world. With offices in major markets and a strong network of partnerships in Australia, New Zealand and the UK, H. Dawson was well-positioned to serve customers around the globe.

While H. Dawson’s rich ancestry of natural fibres, technologies and global trade has defined the company, it is committed to adapting to the needs of today and tomorrow. Led by Jo Dawson, the 4th generation of the Dawson family, the company’s new approach centres around innovative and sustainable fully traceable solutions that meet the demands of conscious consumers, while staying true to its legacy of excellence and innovation.

As part of its drive to embed verified traceability into its products, in 2019, H. Dawson drove the creation of The Woolkeepers®, a community of farmers and like-minded companies committed to sustainability and fairness throughout the wool supply chain. Using wool from this unique supply chain, H. Dawson prioritised the assurance of animal welfare practices and fair price payment to the farmer. Through the Woolkeepers® community, H. Dawson is paving the way towards a more equitable and sustainable future for the wool growers, users and ultimate custodians.
