Career
After a short period as a management consultant at Andersen Consulting, Mayo joined the World Development Movement, serving as acting Director until 1992.
Mayo rose to prominence as director of the New Economics Foundation (NEF) from 1992 to 2003. He led NEF from two to fifty staff, creating the leading 'think-and-do tank', looking at ethical market activity, local economies and public service reform. NHS Foundation Trusts were an idea partly inspired by NEF and Mayo, particularly his October 2001 pamphlet, The Mutual State, published with Mutuo, a think tank set up by the Co-operative Party. NEF also coordinated the Jubilee 2000 campaign during this time, for which Mayo was the strategist. It gained 24 million signatures for the worldwide petition on development and poverty.

Juliet
by: OutatimeI steal the night away
drivin' my life away dancin'
I was a Romeo
I knew the art of romancin'.
I was just one of the guys and I thought I had it made.
I needed someone to show me
how to love.
Juliet
oh Juliet
the night was magic when we first met.
Juliet
oh Juliet
you know you taught me to fly.
You take me clear to the sky
and all the people around the world can
Stand aside
for me and my baby - Juliet.
Fighting with destiny
fortune and fame but kept losin'.
Playin' a joker's game
only myself I was foolin'.
I was an average guy in a world of empty dreams.
You've broken down all the walls
with your love.
Juliet
oh Juliet
this guy's in love with you don't forget.
Juliet
oh Juliet
you know you taught me to fly
you take me clear to the sky
And all the People around the world can stand aside.
Close your eyes
Juliet
don't let go.
On and on our love is like the sun
it keeps on goin' strong like eternity.
I wanna love you in my life
sweet Juliet.
Livin' without love in my life
my girl Juliet.
