Harman’s entire business career was with the Coca-Cola Co. He was instrumental in growing its business in Italy, and was chairman of two subsidiaries of the Coca-Cola Export Corp. in that country.

His Scottish ancestry was a source of pride. He took great interest in Scottish history and culture. As Baron Balvenie he was the holder of the ancient castle of Balvenie in Banffshire.
