A graphic with a dark purple background and stars. In the top right corner is the MoT logo. In the bottom left corner is a cartoon drawing of a head with a visible brain, wearing glasses. The head is grey with a white smile showing teeth.

A large quote in white text is centred on the graphic: "The cost of poor quality is high. Poor quality impacts customer trust, brand reputation and reduces team morale."

Below the quote, in smaller white text, is "- Stuart Thomas".
In this memory: Stuart Thomas
