RFPs are becoming more common in the retail industry due to budget constraints and a lack of expertise on the buyer side.

Product glorifiers, such as acrylic cases, are a popular trend in retail displays, especially for high-end products.

Quentin Vowles oversees various aspects of display production, including concepting, engineering design, manufacturing, and packaging.

Quality control is a crucial part of the display production process, and it involves thorough checks and sign-offs at each stage.

Technology, such as AI, can be used to improve manufacturing processes and solve problems.

Setting a good example is important in both personal and professional settings, as it can influence others' behavior and actions.

Taking time off and prioritizing self-care is essential for personal well-being and productivity in the workplace.
