Simon Perkins was named President of the Orvis company in May. While it remains the world’s oldest mail-order retailer, Orvis has evolved to become a globally recognized fishing, wingshooting, and lifestyle apparel brand that is deeply invested in education and conservation. The company was founded in Manchester, Vermont in 1856 by Charles Orvis, a fly-fishing enthusiast.
