Mark Applin

Co-founder of Signly, which provides the BSL translation on the Signing Banks UK website.

Mark is co-founder of Signly, which adds sign language translation to websites so that people whose first or preferred language is BSL can access the same information as everyone else. Signly provides the BSL translation across the Signing Banks UK website, and Mark has been a long-standing supporter of the programme. He brings expertise in digital accessibility and a firm belief that English-only websites do not adequately serve sign language users.
