It's a unique story from a unique person.

Instinctively and obsessively, Feargal Quinn looks at business the way his customers do: noting the apparently tiny things and drawing from them huge conclusions. No theory is advanced without practical, entirely convincing, examples. And not a single instance of management-speak. The very best businessmen will be the first to welcome this splendid book.

Everyone in business should read Crowning the Customer

-- Today FM

The housewives’ favourite appears to be one of those rare authors; somebody who has made a pile of money and now wants to help the country and people in business by showing them how to do the same. Shaw’s old adage that those who can do and those who can’t teach does not apply here ... The desire to serve sets Quinn apart from many other business people and the theme is well explored.
