ABOUT OLLIE
Ollie Ollerton joined the Royal Marines at 18 years of age where he embarked on operational tours of Northern Ireland and Operation Desert Storm in Iraq. Following five years service with the Marines, Ollie was recommended for Special Forces selection. He would go on to become one of just five candidates to pass selection from his intake, which originally numbered 250.
Having passed selection Olllie joined the Special Boat Service where he trained as a Combat Frogman. Through his 6 years of combat he undertook a number of high profile missions both on land and sea ranging from hostage rescue, counter narcotics, counter terrorism and homeland security.
You shouldn’t always be looking forward, sometimes you need to look back and reflect. We think we've always got to reach that summit but it's so important that we keep looking back and take stock of everything we've done, everything we've learned, how far we've come and the fact that we're still here.
