This year they went virtual due to the impact of Covid-19 and it was streamed live on a dedicated You Tube channel on the 10TH of November which was fantastic. This enabled deserving shortlisted nominees to receive some much needed publicity highlighting the very best in the hospitality, event and tourism industry which we know has been very hard hit.

Andrew Dwerryhouse Wild Thang Managing Director commented: “After many years of supporting this fantastic and prestigious event it was great to hear that it was still going ahead with an innovative virtual awards ceremony adapting in the face of the Corona Virus Pandemic. On the evening we were proud to announce Liverpool Gin Distillery as the winners of the Pub Of The Year Category, big congratulations to their whole team, it is such a fantastic & innovative venue.

This year Wild Thang produced the awards for the event & while it has been an incredibly challenging year for so many businesses it’s probably never been more important to support each other wherever, however and whenever you can so we can all survive & thrive.“

We have been continuing to complete some work to the very highest of world class standards, adapt and innovate and are now closer than ever to completing the building development to finally create the best possible workplace environment for all our employees after 4 difficult years of planning.

Secondary to the message we wanted to deliver as a company the added bonus and the reason for the green cap is to embrace reusability and sustainability - water bottles is one way of helping deliver a positive environmental impact.

Wild Thang are incredibly proud as our NHS campaign T-shirts are featured in a new display at the Museum of Liverpool to document the impact Covid-19 has had on our communities and City.

Andrew Dwerryhouse commented: “As for many companies across the UK it continues to be a challenging time for Wild Thang as a business because of the effects of Corona Virus and the lockdown, so when this came completely out of the blue it was a real team morale booster & has filled Wild Thang with such pride.

Our team's efforts to make a difference by producing our branded campaign t-shirts to raise funds and awareness to highlight the efforts the NHS were making and the importance of social distancing, has been recognised.

It’s a real honour to know we have made our very own little piece of history that will be documented in the museum archives for decades and even centuries to come, made in Liverpool, and displayed in the Museum of Liverpool. It was a real treat to be shown the Covid curation in person by the curator of this display Kay Jones at Museum of Liverpool.

When we viewed the display in person we even spotted some printed cotton tote bags we had produced for those volunteer faces shield manufacturing heroes Merseyside PPE Hub who were also included in the curation.

If any good has come out of this incredibly difficult time it is the way our communities have pulled together and really recognised all the hard work and sacrifices the NHS workers have made to make sure as many people affected by the virus could have the best possible life saving care. It has never been more apparent to Wild Thang as a company that we can all make a difference.

Together we have all made a difference & while it has been an incredibly tough time for Wild Thang as a company, as it has been for many others companies, we simply wanted to make a difference as an organisation and team to do whatever we could to make sure those NHS Heroes and Key workers really know they Will Never Walk Alone!

With your help & as a team, we are incredibly proud that we have been able to make donations and deliveries to Liverpool Women’s Hospital, Clatterbridge Cancer Hospital, The Liverpool Royal Hospital, Alder Hey Hospital and Aintree Hospital. Over the past weeks we have been working with a skeleton team but we still found the time as a team to make a difference.

Our final week 3-4 report on the impact showed we never quite made that 500th T-shirt sale but we got pretty damn close with 487, thank you all again!

But it’s time to bring this project to a close as we now hopefully start getting back to some sort of normality now lock down is being eased.

It’s been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster but we have got to say the thing we are most proud of is the photo’s & videos you have shared. We have loved loved loved this more than anything else & there have been 10,000’s of shares and views across social media.

It was amazing to get Johnny Vegas and Simon Rimmer’s support also, they are genuinely nice guys but the real impact has been made by real people showing their support for the community, the NHS and especially those NHS Heroes!

Our feel good factor continues with the Museum of Liverpool purchasing some of the t-shirts to include in a curation about the impact of Covid-19 on the community.

So watch this space, they are also looking for other people’s stories - see link with contact details so you can get involved.

We will continue to support those NHS Heroes where we can as individuals and as a company because together we really all do make a difference and its ‘The Wild Thang Way’.

Wild Thang have been 100% open for business throughout the corona virus outbreak working remotely & working hard throughout that time for our clients. Like many businesses in the UK it’s a worrying time, our sales have understandably slowed, but we are now starting to create a little momentum with the easing of the lockdown rules.

Taking it step by step, we are open across all areas of the business including manufacturing & starting to reintroduce some of our amazing team.

It’s critically important that our employees, clients and suppliers know we are a Covid Secure Workplace so we are taking many extra precautions which include:

• Several hygiene stations fitted in the offices and production warehouse.

• A one way system through the building.

• Signage throughout the premises.

• Face covering snoods and personal hand sanitisers for all staff.

• Hand wash, Hand gels and wipes in rest areas.

• Extra contract cleaning in all areas.

• Split lunch & rest breaks to minimise numbers in rest areas.

All done to ensure that our amazing team’s health and safety is at the forefront of our minds. Wild Thang cannot wait to be back up to full strength and doing what we do best for our clients & partners.

We hope business increases over the coming weeks & months so we can bring more of our team back and get this show fully back on the road!

We hope everyone who is going back to their places of work stay safe and keep their social distancing, we’ll be promoting it every step of the way!

Don't forget we have an extensive hygiene & protection range that can help your workplace become covid secure.

Big thank you to everyone who has made sure those NHS heroes know They’ll Never Walk Alone by purchasing a t-shirt over the past few weeks.

Just so you know the impact you have been making by purchasing a t-shirt we have put together an info graphic, which was designed by our very talented studio.

We have been overwhelmed by the positive feedback with lots of people posting photo’s which really has made us feel incredibly proud as a team, and really makes us feel that our efforts to make a difference are worthwhile. Sharing our message across social media was the real aim and that has been achieved with tens of thousands of social media interactions.

As you know our first order to be dispatched was a very special delivery to 100-year-old Captain Tom Moore as a birthday treat, what an incredible hero that has captured the nation’s hearts with his fundraising for the NHS.

We have even had a few high profile t-shirt purchases, from the amazing comedian Johnny Vegas, who has been on tour around the hospitals in the North West giving his time up selflessly for those NHS Heroes, and many thanks to the very talented Celebrity Chef from Sunday Brunch on Channel 4, Simon Rimmer.

But the highlight for the week was from Ellie Orton, CEO of NHS Charities Together who commented “Well done for all the support you are giving to NHS charities this is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing with us, we really appreciate it. Thank you so much for your support to NHSCT and our members. I love the videos and selfies they are great.”

We have had orders from across the UK and Internationally so we’re happy to report we have sold over 370 t-shirt’s over the past few weeks.

Don’t forget every t-shirt purchased we are donating 50% to NHS Charities or a t-shirt to an NHS hero in their fight against the virus, to let those heroes get the message loud and clear, whilst also importantly promoting social distancing.

Like many businesses in the UK it’s a worrying time, our sales have understandably slowed since lockdown so initiatives like this even in a small way will also help Wild Thang to reintroduce staff when the UK starts to return to normality, we cannot wait to be back up to full strength and doing what we do best, which as a company is to try and make a difference to those around us, it’s part of our ethos, and as we say - ‘It’s the Wild Thang Way!’.

What a fantastic week one!

Big thank you to everyone who has made sure those NHS Heroes Know They Will Never Walk Alone by purchasing a t-shirt this past week.

The first orders for our t-shirts have been delivered over the past week and we have been overwhelmed by the positive feedback.

Lots of people have been posting photo’s which has got us all a bit emotional at Wild Thang & really makes us feel our efforts are worthwhile & are making a difference. More amazing images to follow and thank you so much to everyone who is supporting and letting those NHS Heroes know they Will Never Walk Alone #NHSwillneverwalkalone

Our first order to be dispatched as a very special delivery was of course heading to 99-year-old Captain Tom Moore, who has captured the nation’s hearts with his fundraising for the NHS.

We have had orders from around the UK but also got our first international order which is heading over to Sweden. Happy to report that positive momentum seems to be building, having sold just under over 200 t-shirt’s in the first 7 days which is a great start.

Hopefully this is just the start so it’s critical for everyone to continue spreading the word that our NHS Heroes will never walk alone.

Remember Wild Thang wanted to make a difference to help let them heroes know they will never walk alone whilst also promoting social distancing.

For every t-shirt purchased we will donate 50% to NHS Charities Charity No 1186569 OR a t-shirt to an NHS hero in their fight against the virus.

Like many businesses in the UK it’s a worrying time, our sales have understandably slowed down considerably since lockdown so initiatives like this even in a small way will also help Wild Thang to reintroduce staff when the UK starts to return to normality, we cannot wait to be back up to full strength and doing what we do best, which as a company is to try and make a difference to those around us, it’s part of our ethos, and as we say -

‘It’s the Wild Thang Way!’
