He is the creative partner of The Partners, London, named the most creative company in Britain in Design Week's 2009 survey and which has topped the ‘All Awards' chart for 11 years in its 20 year history.

He is also Chair of Education at the D&AD, hopes to bring objectivity and impartiality to the judging panel and cannot wait to see the inspirational work that has been entered this year, “The work should be about thinking differently and challenging the convention of the category. Something that makes you think, I wish I'd done that,” he commented.

Judging will take place 17 - 25 August 2010 and Quinton will be sharing some of his own inspiration and insight at the Judges Seminar on 20 August.

The Advertising and Experiential Jury Chairmen, as well as the judging panels, will be announced in the coming weeks. Entries from the Middle East and the whole of Africa are eligible and work should be entered by 31 May. Full entry information can be found on the Loeries website www.theloerieawards.co.za.
