Vernon Dalzell
Vernon David Dalzell (born 7th April 1960) is a Smethwick born builder and roofer, well known in the Black country, parts of Jamaica and in India.

Early Life
Growing up as a teenager in Smethwick, life wasn't always easy for Vernon. However, with the aid of his friends, his quick wit and sharp tongue, Vernon was able to make a small fortune doing odd jobs for those who needed them doing.

He started his working life at a very young age, doing the paper round as a young child, before working in a local chip shop and doing the milk round on mornings before school. Vernon left school at the age of 15, as many did back in the 1970s, and from then on he started what would later become a trade that would make him a local face.

Working Life
Vernon started roofing as a teenager with his cousin, Anthony Mills, of which there was an age gap of 10 years. Even as a young man, Vernon was no stranger to hard graft and had a very strong build. Very quickly he developed a very healthy work ethic, and was willing to do whatever, whenever, but for the right price.
