BP Oil Computer and Accounting Centre

Computers are a people business.

The link above will take you to a pdf of a 20 page booklet called "Computers are a people business" which was published in 1980.

Warning : This is quite a large document at 353MB depending on your broadband (using a speed of 200 kB/sec it may take about 30 mins to download).

This booklet was designed to promote careers within the BP Oil Computer and Accounting Centre at Hemel Hempstead. Although this was available to staff at the time, I think it was focused towards the annual graduate intake (commonly known as "The Milk Round").

This was obviously a time of expansion and getting the "right young things" in to a "high-tech" career was perhaps difficult!
People mentioned in this booklet are Angela Slezok (she later married Richard Doyle), Jacky Dormer, Helen McGillicuddy and John Maher.
