About Hamza
Hello, and thank you for visiting my website. My name is Hamza Shaikh. I am a Deaf language professional and consultant, committed to improving communication access and empowering the Deaf community through high-quality, culturally informed services.
Through my business, ABC Language Communication and Translation Services, I offer bespoke language consultancy and translation packages, tailored to support Deaf and hard of hearing people, as well as organisations working with or alongside the Deaf community. Each service is carefully shaped around individual or organisational needs, ensuring accessibility, linguistic accuracy, and cultural respect.
I proudly serve as a trustee on the boards of national Deaf organisations, where I contribute to strategic leadership, community representation, and advocacy for equality, language rights, and Deaf-led approaches.
I regularly deliver a personal presentation about my life journey as a Deaf professional, which has been warmly received at venues including the Black Country Living Museum, Royal School for the Deaf Derby, and Frank Barnes School for Deaf Children. This presentation can be adapted for a range of audiences – educational, community, or professional. If you are interested, I would be pleased to arrange a meeting to discuss your needs.
