Шаблон:Infobox company Goldsbrough Mort & Co was an Australian agricultural business.

History

In 1843 Thomas Sutcliffe Mort established a business which operated as auctioneers and brokers in the wool trade. The business took on partners and become known as Mort & Co.[1]

In 1847, Richard Goldsbrough founded a wool broking business in Melbourne.[2]

In 1888, R Goldsbrough & Co merged with Mort & Co to form Goldsbrough Mort & Co.[1]

In 1962 Goldsbrough, Mort & Co merged with Elder Smith & Co to form Elder Smith Goldsbrough Mort & Co Ltd.[1][3]

In 1981 Elder Smith Goldsbrough Mort & Co Ltd merged with Henry Jones IXL to form Elders IXL which today trades as Elders Limited.[1][4]

Goldsbrough Street in Fremantle, Western Australia, is named after the company because they owned property there.[5] It runs between Elder Place (named after Elders Ltd.) and Cantonment Street.
