Media Training
Welcome from Vernon Mann, International Media Trainer.
Vernon Mann Media Ltd specialises in executive media spokesperson training and have conducted courses in 17 countries in the 14 years we have been in business. In the past couple of years our trainers have travelled five times to Qatar to conduct workshops for the national airline and financial institutions, to Lebanon for a major pharma comany, to Dubai and Abu Dhabi, various European capitals, and of course, in the UK where we are based.
We also offer presentation training, crisis media management and corporate visual productions.
Vernon Mann is a conference facilitator and a speaker on media handling.
Our trainers, journalists and news cameramen, have unrivalled experience of the media having covered most of the world's great events of the past few decades between them. We take a realistic approach in our advice on how to handle the media in a crisis situation.
Vernon Mann Media offers you the chance to benefit from our experience and join us, as have our major clients, in an ongoing advisory relationship enabling us to understand you and your company and therefore better able to prepare you for the day when things go horribly wrong.
Our custom-made courses are intensive, practical and interactive and range from one-on-one sessions with CEO's about to face the media on a hot issue to media-awareness workshops for junior or middle management with little or no experience of the media.
If there is anything specific you would like to know, please get in touch with us using the phone numbers at the foot of this site or via the contact page.

Much UK discussion about the use of water cannon after the London street riots. From my experience, having seen them in action against demonstrators in France, they are really quite effective when used against people attacking a particular building, a Town Hall for example. But the apparatus is not wonderfully mobile and therefore I believe they would have limited effect on groups determined to trash whole neighbourhoods. The police could no doubt give them a good soaking in one street but then the kids - and that's what they are-would run off to cause mindless mayhem in another! Some military friends of mine suggest bringing back the stocks and let the injured general public pelt them with rotten fruit and veg.
