What better way to record the history of a groundbreaking communications company than through the voices of its people: the company's pioneers, who set up the communications networks in far-flung areas of the world, and kept them going against the odds?

Cable & Wireless approved of this innovative approach and commissioned an oral history, Voices Over the Horizon. BPC handled every stage, from selecting the author, Dr David Souden, and designing and copy-editing the book, through to publishing, publicity, warehousing and distribution.

Voices of Change, a second volume covering Cable & Wireless' privatisation from the early 1970s up to the present day, has been produced by BPC.
