In 1989 he co-founded Killik & Co., one of the United Kingdom's leading private client investment houses, and was its Managing Partner and Chief Executive until 2006. Orr is married to Sybil Robson Orr. Together they founded The Robson Orr TenTen Award in 2018, which supports the Government Art Collection in selecting outstanding British artists to create original print works for the Collection to display around the world. Artists, including Hurvin Anderson, Tacita Dean, Yinka Shonibare CBE and Lubaina Himid have created original works for the Collection for TenTen. At the same time, annual sales from these prints sold through the Outset Contemporary Art Fund will raise funds so that the Collection can continue to acquire art by emerging artists in the UK. In, 1996 Orr co-founded The Orr Mackintosh Foundation (ShareGift)with Claire Mackintosh. Sharegift allows small share holdings, which would be uneconomical to sell individually, to be donated to benefit charitable causes. Orr and Mackintosh were awarded the Beacon Fellowship Prize in 2006 for their work with Sharegift. Orr co-founded The Money Channel in 1999 which is broadcast on Sky Digital. The TV channel’s aim was to provide financial advice to small investors on subjects including pension planning and investment in shares. The Money Channel shut down in 2002. (en)
