Pom Oliver

Pom Oliver (full name Rosamund Cherry Jane Oliver ) is an experienced British polar explorer and former film producer, born in May 1952.

When she was 18 years old, she started travelling and eventually settled in Australia, where she started working in the film and TV industry. She became a film producer in 1977, and produced films such as Cathy's Child (1979) and Hoodwink (1981), before returning to Britain, where she co-produced Biggles (1986) and did various TV productions.

In 1997 she was part of the relay team which reached the North Pole. Then in 1999/2000 she was a part of the M&G Polar Team, making her one of the five who became the first British all-women's team to ski to the South Pole.

Returning from her polar expeditions, she set up Woodland Skills in Shadow Woods near Billingshurst in West Sussex, which is involved in outdoor education.
