Vernon retired early from corporate life at the age of 50 and had a second career as a self- emplyed consultant, his final assignment being Town Initiatives Manager for the market town of Alton in Hampshire, UK - one which he describes as probably the most rewarding of his career. He also became a radio presenter in his spare time.
