		Quinn is not the type of guy to sit in a plush office counting his profits while others get on with the work.
		But Quinn listened to her views nevertheless, and decided rather nervously to install a refrigerated display in his Northside shop, opposite the butcher counter, with meat that was cut by their butchers and clearly marked with the purchase price.
		Quinn says, “If you are customer-driven, the most important place in the company is not the boardroom but the marketplace.” This ensures that the energy of the organization is concentrated in the right place - towards generating customer satisfaction.

		Another part of Feargal Quinn's retailing philosophy that soon emerged was his emphasis on customer service, founded on a determination to keep close to the customer and to build an organization that would always try to see things from the customer's point of view.
		Quinn’s tireless dedication to customers is instructive and the spirit of the pursuit can be applied in all service situations, even those that are not profit-oriented.
		I think that the secret of Feargal’s success is that he does the simple things superbly well; he does the things that others could easily think off, but dismiss as being impractical or uneconomical; he sees the bigger picture, so makes short-term sacrifices for long-term gains.
