Vernon Dursley was a large, beefy man with hardly any neck although he did have a very large moustache, he was the director of a firm called Grunnings which manufactured large drilling equipment. He was also a completely ordinary man and as a result an utterly boring man, who while never coming off as a particularly welcoming, Loveling or friendly fellow, he also never gave the impression he was a cruel one either. However if you took the time to get to know Vernon Dursley you would understand that he was in fact a rather vile individual who was best left alone. Now there were 3 things you needed to know to understand Vernon, the first was that he was a brilliant businessman, the second was he was very proud of his completely ordinary life and the third was that he and his wife had a very big secret and they lived in fear that someone would discover this secret. He couldn't begin to imagine what would happen to his ordinary life if anyone found out about the Potters.
