Yes - see Golden Ocean Group Ltd v Salgaocar Mining Industries PVT Ltd [2012] EWCA Civ 265 in which a name at the end of an email was held to constitute a signature for the purposes of the Statute of Frauds 1677. In any event, unless it's a guarantee or a contract for the sale of land, or another type of contract where the law requires specific formalities before a contract can arise, there's no requirement for a signature in order to create a legally-binding contract. The fact that they've returned it and said they've signed it shows that they've agreed to its terms.
