A new feature of our newsletter: "10 things we've learnt this month".

Some of the facts are funny and quite frankly rather random. Others are informative and highly relevant to the current state of the retail / shopfitting world. Here is a sneak peak of our first three things we learnt this month:

1. Everyone hates jargon including us, however, the term e-tail meaning electronic retailing is definitely the watch word this month and we have to admit it’s quite a good one.
2. With the apprentice back on telly it made us wonder where the phrase to “get fired” comes from. Apparently many years ago clans who wanted to expel members without killing them would burn their houses down!.. Hence the term "getting fired"... All of a sudden Alan Sugars pointed index finger seems far less threatening!
3. Google wasn't even in the top 100 of the worlds most valuable brands until 2005, but have been in the top spot for the last few years until this month when they were thrown of the top spot by no one other then the giants themselves Apple.

    You can sign up to our newsletter, which this quarter includes: 

    - A story about how the digital age will effect the physical shop, 
    - Our top ten things we learnt this month including information on The Consumer Rights Act and stats about 
      UK online spending
    - And Railston updates including our Charity fund-raising shenanigans and our newest shop fit-outs.
