Hichens, Harrison & co. plc is the oldest
firm of stockbrokers in the City. The firm was founded by
Robert Hichens and, although the precise date of formation
is not known, the firm was in business in July 1803, shortly
after The Stock Exchange was first constitutionally formed.
Over the years, the firm's partners have taken an active role
in the development of the Stock Exchange, serving both as
Chairmen and on the Council.
Unlike most brokers, Hichens, Harrison is
not an amalgamation of a large number of firms. No other City
stockbroking firm has previously survived 200 years in almost
its original format and few, if any, will do so in future
because of the rapidly changing corporate structures.
We have put together a history of Hichens
Harrison comprised of material that we thought would be of
interest, rather than detailing all of the 200 years of the
firm's history.
It is the background against which Hichens
has grown and prospered, making many of the individuals happy
and wealthy.

Over the last 200 years, thousands of people
have misspelt Hichens, common favourites include Hitchens,
Hitchans & Hichans.
