Harrison’s (Clyde) Ltd, a Glasgow ship management firm, has a long history of involvement with Glasgow’s shipping business. Its predecessor company, Gow, Harrison & Co was formed in 1895 with the amalgamation of Allan C Gow & Co and P H Dixon & Co, and was wound up in 1951. Harrison's (Clyde) was then formed in 1956 to continue in the ship management business, and many subsidiary companies were taken on over the years.

The company is still in operation today as Harrison's (2002) Ltd.
