Welcome to DTELS.ORG
updated 9th December 2017

Welcome
At the time of writing I find myself looking back at another year that has flown by quickly. Not that retirement and advancing years is making me feel any older having continued my quest for travel and just back from a fairly full-on six week trip around Eastern Australia and a chill-out break on Norfolk Island.

Although nearly twenty-four years since DTELS ceased as a public sector organisation its pleasing to know that this web site still continues to attract a good level of visitors and support from former staff. Whilst I am of sound mind and disposition I will continue to finance and maintain this site.

DTELS Reunion Organiser Wanted
I take this opportunity to again ask for a volunteer to take over the role from myself of organising an annual or biennial reunion in London. A popular event attracting former staff I know from feedback many people missed not having one this year.

If you are willing to take on the responsibility for organising future events please contact me using the feedback form, or ring me if you have my telephone number for further details.

New Visitor to this Site?
May I extend a big welcome to those of you who may be visiting this web site for the first time. If you not already aware, this site is dedicated to recording some of the history of the Directorate of Telecommunications.

As a public sector department within the Home Office for England and Wales, the Directorate was responsible for providing wireless communication support to Emergency Service users in the two countries.

Its origins go back to World War II (circa 1939) and grew over the years to become a major service provider to a wider range of Public Safety central and local government services. In 1991 it changed its name to DTELS and three years later became a private sector company following a trade sale to National Transcommunications Limited (ntl).
