AMPS Chair Andrew Wilson hosted the event and said “We were delighted to welcome AMPS members and friends to our annual Awards event. The support we receive from our sponsors plus the help we get from the University of Greenwich makes this one of the highlights of the AMPS year. We were especially pleased to be joined by some of our friends from the AMPS chosen charity “Hearing Dogs for the Deaf” and very generous donations from some of our Sustaining Members went towards a fundraising raffle with all the proceeds going to Hearing Dogs. The event was a great success, confirming the continued growth of what has become one of the most prestigious sound awards in the calendar.”
