Mister Beverley "Harry" Harman is another Maintenance Man that despite being regarded as lower class, is the Operator of the entire building and even Grace Brothers itself. An at large Administrative Assistant, he also functions as a Gofer, Security Officer, and Mediator. He defies authority, leaks information from above, and respects only when earned. He seems to be the happiest of all the employees, and can outbid any of them at any thing at any time. It is implied that he resides at the store, and has a strained marriage. Mister Harman has saved both the company and his coworker's lives continuously, and with ease. Examples include unpacking Mrs. Slocombe's belongings when she needed a place to stay, and ending a hostage situation. A highly skilled traveler, he was able to reserve grand accommodations at Costa Plonka, laughing at his snobbish coworkers' inability to reserve any thing more than camping tents. As Arthur English had retired by the time Grace And Favour was produced, Mister Harman was not depicted visiting them.
