Career

Orr worked for stockbroking firm Quilter Goodison, and subsequently set up share shops for Debenhams. In 1989 he co-founded the stockbroking firm Killik & Co.[1][2]

Orr co-founded the charity Sharegift with Claire Mackintosh in 1996. 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.[3][4]

gollark: I don't think that's how this sort of thing generally works. Generally things have multiple (possible) causes.
