Profile
Washington H. Soul Pattinson and Company
Limited (WHSP) was incorporated on
21 January 1903 having previously traded
as two separate companies, Pattinson and
Co. and Washington H. Soul and Co.
Following a public offering of shares, WHSP was listed
on the Sydney Stock Exchange (now the Australian
Securities Exchange) on 21 January 1903.
Over 100 years as a listed
public company
When Caleb Soul and his son Washington opened
their first store at 177 Pitt Street, Sydney, in 1872
neither of them could have envisaged that 144 years
later their single pharmacy would have evolved into
a company as prominent and diversified as WHSP.
WHSP is now a significant investment house with a
portfolio encompassing many industries including
its traditional field of pharmaceuticals, as well as
coal mining, building materials, copper and gold
exploration, equity investments, property investment,
telecommunications and corporate consulting.
