Christopher Gerald Pole-Carew was a British appointee as High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire in 1979. After serving in the Royal Navy, he was a newspaper executive, who rose to notoriety in his handling of trade union membership, initially as managing director of the Nottingham Evening Post. He sacked journalists who joined the trade union; or for going on strike with a pay demand lower than what they were currently receiving. Later he worked under Rupert Murdoch, where his role included trade union matters. The appointment brought comment in the House of Commons.
