The Signature Annual Awards ceremony took place on Thursday 12 November 2009. The atmosphere on the night was electric. It was a great night for everyone who is working to achieve a society in which deaf people have full access.
150 nominees and guests packed into the exquisite Private Rooms of the Crowne Plaza Hotel Buckingham Gate for the Signature Annual Awards ceremony.
Four outstanding individuals and one organisation received recognition for their efforts to create a more accessible society for deaf people. The awards recognised organisational achievement, teacher of the year, learner of the year, communication professional of the year and outstanding achievement.
Commenting last night, Jim Edwards Signature Chief Executive said; "This year's awards have been a huge success. Our winners very much deserve all the praise they have received. More than 200 nominations were made across all categories and all our finalists deserve credit for their achievements.
"We're already planning next year's event and look forward to hearing about more people and organisations that are really making a difference for deaf communications and deaf people across the whole of the UK."
