The Weldon Legacy
Chrysaor Studios honours
Kevin Weldon AO (1933–2023)
Christopher's great-uncle was discovered through his mother's adoption story. They met only once, reconnecting through email in recent years, sharing Brisbane Grammar archives and stories of building businesses with purpose.
Both Queensland-born. Both Grammar boys. Both builders.
Kevin founded Hanna-Barbera Australia (now Endemol Shine Australia/Banijay), built Weldon International into a publishing giant, served as the founding president of the International Life Saving Federation, and founded Earthwatch Australia, a conservation organisation.
Awarded the Order of Australia twice — in 1994 and posthumously as Officer (AO) in 2024 — Kevin believed business should serve a greater purpose.
Family isn't always about how often you meet. It's about the values you share.
"Christopher Amos with his great-uncle Kevin Weldon AO — a connection discovered through his mother's adoption story, and the inspiration behind Chrysaor Studios."
