Christopher Robinson

In the mid 1970s, Richard Tucker, a Canadian entrepreneur, recruited Chris Orssich (who at that point ran the Apsely Shooting School with David Olive) to start Roxtons, a sporting agency named after one of Richard's other businesses. Based above the shop of the same name which was also part of the business at the time, the company grew rapidly and the sporting agency was sold to Mark Firth in 1990.

In 1991, Roxtons became the first company to offer Atlantic salmon fishing on the celebrated Varzuga River in Russia's Kola Peninsula. It also offered exclusive access to several of world's premier shoots, at estates such as Drynachan and Newlands in Scotland, Stanage on the Welsh border, Miltons, Hedge End and Prescombe in England as well as Brea de Tajo and La Nava in Spain. Roxtons has also been a key player in the development of some of the most exciting saltwater, bluewater and freshwater fisheries for decades.

The current managing director, Christopher Robinson, took over the reins in 1994. Today, Roxtons continues to be at the forefront of sporting innovation, running the largest and oldest 'roving syndicate', an informal club which gives customers access to more than 50 partridge or pheasant days per season in locations around the world. It also recently pioneered salt water fishing in Cuba and has a fishing portfolio that spans the globe.
