Checking what information the museum had on ISTEL revealed it was limited to two publicity brochures and a mug. This they found very disappointing.
So Dave & Derek embarked on a mission to keep the memory of ISTEL alive for future generations and, over a year later, they are amazed at the response they have had. This work is known as the "Remembering ISTEL" project.
This section of the web site outlines the progress made and the successes achieved of that project .
The "Remembering ISTEL" Project
A chance meeting at the Local History Museum has led to the creation of a new archive for Redditch. Dave Handley was visiting the museum to see information held there on Bridely Moor School and was shown around by volunteer Derek Coombes. In conversation Dave and Derek discovered that there was a period back in the 1980s when they both worked at local IT company ISTEL, although they never actually met whilst there.
