Wild Thang wishes you all a Merry Sustainable Christmas!

We are in the business of providing world class branded clothing and print, we also place our CSR responsibilities central to our company and teams culture that’s why this year the gifts we will be sending to our own clients will be very much focused on sustainability with a message wishing everyone a merry sustainable Christmas. We want you to know a big part of our company vision for the next 10 years will be focused on sustainability and as one of the key components we will be aiming to be carbon neutral by 2030.

This year the products we will be sending to our own amazing clients will be focused on sustainability and reusability encouraging everyone who receives a gift to Use IT, Reuse IT, and then Recycle IT. See below a small description and link to each of the products we are producing in a variety of thank you gift packs so they can be assured all the products come from a sustainable source or have some sort of eco credentials:

We then want our clients to recycle every product they receive from Wild Thang, even better if you deconstruct and separate the different materials into recyclable, biodegradable and non-recyclable waste. Wild Thang are still an SME and know this will be a step by step process, but if we can inspire others to do the same as we know many small changes by many people can make a world changing difference!

 

One Of The Wild Thang Eco Gift Packs.

Here is an image one of the eco orientated gift boxes we will be sending to our fantastic clients, a reminder to have yourself a Merry Sustainable Christmas but also our one world class service solution meaning we can handle the whole process from design, manufacture, packaging, fulfilment and distribution direct to your clients or employees. If you have a requirement for any kind of gift or promotional pack simply get in touch. Get In Touch

Just so you know we will be avoiding all single plastic use and throwaway products so we have created a sustainability message and made sure it’s located on each product we have gifted to our clients as a reminder so when it says on the product Use Me Reuse Me Recycle Me we want you to make sure you keep this product as long as possible or even a lifetime so even when it starts to look a little worn out or scruffy, please keep a little while longer or re-purpose until completely kaput.

In the future as we continue to grow as a company we plan to make sure all the amazing branded clothing merchandise and print we produce are coming from sustainable sources, this will be formally announced in January 2022 along with some more great initiatives all related to future sustainability.

Tis The Season To Be Jolly Sustainable, Best wishes, Team Wild Thang.

Wild Thang are incredibly proud as a team to have won the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce International Award 2021, which took place at the Innside Hotel by Melia Liverpool on the 18th November. As for many businesses 2020/21 has been a rollercoaster ride and the most challenging year in our 25 year history, so when we found out we had won this high profile award it really did fill our team with pride. 

Celebrating the award as a team its the Wild Thang Way. 

This was part public vote and part expert business panel vote which gives a really balanced vote for a deserving winner, this time it happened to be world class Wild Thang!

Andrew Dwerryhouse, Wild Thang MD commented: “It was a fantastic evening and to win the International Award is super special, it made me think back to what was a perfect storm, I clearly remember when the pandemic hit and sales fell off a cliff for many areas of our business, but we were determined as a team that we would not be defined as a company by our incomplete development, covid or Brexit so we adapted quickly to ensure we could not only survive, but also thrive as a team and company, so makes this is an incredibly special moment because its recognition at the highest level in the Liverpool city region.

Wild Thang International Award Winner 2021. 

The first thing Wild Thang want to say is a big thank you to those who voted but especially the commitment shown by our team, clients and suppliers, all of who made this award possible because we know a companies real success is never built by one individual or one dept, but truly by a team effort. The chamber did an incredible job delivering this important awards dinner to showcase the best businesses the LCR has to offer.

Paul Cherpeau Liverpool Chamber Of Commerce Chief Executive welcomes guests. 

Big congratulations to all the winners and category nominees & what was just as fantastic to see were lots of clients we deal with nominated and winning awards which is a reminder of how we are the leading company in our sector in the Liverpool City Region, hopefully there will be many more awards to come in 2022.

Carrie Dwerryhouse Business Quality Co-ordinator, Andrew Dwerryhouse MD, Chris Dwerryhouse Operations Director.

We are proud to have retained all of our staff throughout this challenging time and have now already added 8 new staff to our team over the past month in preparation for that projected growth.Export growth was highlighted in the supporting finalist evidence and our plans to grow turnover and our exports by 20-25% in 2022, so we have never been more excited about the future as a team.

Andrew Dwerryhouse MD, Chris Dwerryhouse Operations Director take to the stage to accept the award.

Wild Thang also recently participated in a LCC video that highlighted our Brexit challenge and highlighted how we have adapted as a company and team, we genuinely hope this will help inspire other businesses. I may have collected the award on the evening along with Operations Director Chris Dwerryhouse, but whoever collects the awards is only ever doing so on behalf of the entire Wild Thang team."

 

The Liverpool Chamber of Commerce commented : “The Chamber is delighted to have recognised the achievements of Wild Thang at our Innovation in Business Awards. Our independent judging panel highlighted the company's success in international business development alongside its broader response to the pandemic.”

Wild Thang Provide T-shirts for Ava White Vigil to support the NO More Knives Campaign!

Our last print job of last week was one we wished we didn’t need to do, but we are still proud to have made a donation of T-shirt’s to No More Knives initiative for the Ava White vigil, which took place in Liverpool over last weekend.

Banner created by football fans to support the campaign at the Liverpool Derby.

Ava senselessly lost her life during the Christmas light switch on, we are committed as a team and company to raising awareness and supporting this type of initiative as this needs to stop now. Our whole teams thoughts are prayers are with Ava’s family and friends & the only way we can end this cowardly behaviour is together as a community.

The T-shirts Wild Thang provided for the Ava White vigil.

Seeing so many attend the vigil for Ava gives hope that we can all make a difference in promoting the simple No More Knives In Our City message.

Wild Thang proud to support John Haynes Foundation helping raise over £30,000!
Wild Thang proud to support John Haynes Foundation helping raise over £30,000!

Wild Thang are incredibly proud to have supported and sponsored this incredible event by providing all design and branded marketing collateral required for the John Haynes foundation and gala dinner. The John Haynes Tribute dinner and legacy foundation launch took place at the Liverpool Hilton Hotel on the 18th of September.

The Gala Dinner dressed to impress at the Liverpool Hilton Hotel. 

Hosted by Roger Jonas with speeches by Everton FC CEO. Denise Barrett Baxendale and Liverpool Metro Mayor Steven Rotheram, with a special menu created by Paul Askew and the Hilton team.The evening raised over £30,000 which will see funds officially establish the foundation for the longer term and develop the programs that will help others to be the best versions of themselves and truly ‘Fly With The Eagles’.

The late great John Haynes who helped so many 'Fly With The Eagles'.

It was a truly spectacular night and very special moment for the Wild Thang team to celebrate the life of a friend and master mentor coach John Haynes but also maybe more importantly his legacy. Before his passing for nearly a decade John had become an integral part of our company family helping Wild Thang and all our employees better themselves on a personal and professional level.

The host with the most Roger Jonas.

Andrew Dwerryhouse Wild Thang MD commented: “John Haynes was a true mentor and friend to both me and the rest of the Wild Thang team for many years and made a huge difference in the team and companies culture. John was a very special individual and wanted to make a difference in the lives of whoever he met. Whatever the subject or session about leadership or resilience you would come out it feeling 100% more positive and wanting to take on the world.

John Haynes partner Linda Adkins who gave her support and blessing for the foundation to be formed.   

This is why it felt so important and right to help and support both the formation of the John Haynes Foundation by becoming a trustee, but in a wider way by making sure Wild Thang as a company supported the foundation from a branding and marketing perspective, our team of directors felt this was only right to give back a little piece of what John has given us. From the outset we offered Wild Thangs support to provide all the collateral for the foundation and gala dinner which we are proud of delivering.

All the event collateral and merchandise was lovingly designed and printed by Wild Thang

At each stage we gained approval throughout the design process from John’s partner Linda, the family and the rest of the trustees, we think we have achieved something genuinely world class from design to production, hopefully the photographs of the evening tell the story of a spectacular and successful night that surpassed everyone’s expectations.

All the event collateral and merchandise was lovingly designed and printed by Wild Thang

A huge thank you from Linda and family, patrons and trustees to everyone who attended, donated and supported the John Haynes Foundation launch, you truly are all eagles. John is gone but never forgotten, his legacy will live on with its aim of inspiring and helping 1 million people to have the resilience and belief to ‘Fly With The Eagles’.

Wild Thang are committed to a sustainable future and proud to support a talented artist exhibit at Cop 26!
Wild Thang are committed to a sustainable future and proud to support a talented artist exhibit at Cop 26!

Wild Thang as a company are 100% committed to a sustainable future and proud to have supported the very talented artist Robyn Woolston whose art is focused on environmental impact issues. Robyn’s exhibition during Cop 26 has taken place between 31st Oct - 12th Nov in Glasgow on the ground floor of the Pipe Factory, in a space built by William White and Sons in 1877, as a clay smoking pipe factory.

Main photo featured in blog peice is ‘Last (Chance)’ 2021 @ The Pipe Factory, Glasgow // Images artists own.

William White and Sons clay smoking pipe factory.

Andrew Dwerryhouse Commented: “We have followed Robyn Woolston for many years and know her passion to help the future of the planets environment through her world class artwork and we knew we had to support. Wild Thang are aligned and committed to create a sustainable future as a company and prior to Cop 26 started the process of making our own internal future sustainability promise.

 

‘Last (Chance)’ 2021 @ The Pipe Factory, Glasgow // Images artists own.

We are an organisation that wants to be part of the solution rather than the problem. We already hold ISO 14001 certification and have clear policies and some great examples of changes we have already made such as electric car charging point, recycling all cardboard and paper waste, plus a range of other initiatives.

Charging point being installed at Wild Thang HQ.

Our eco range has never been bigger but we want to go much further and we know the time to act is now, so when this opportunity came up to support Robyn it seemed the perfect fit. Part of the support included creating a brief statement about what the commitment will be from Wild Thang.

The Artist Robyn Woolston.

As part of the statement we shared with Robyn we described how we have just created our company vision for the next 10 years, with sustainability as one of the key components for that vision so as a company we will be aiming to be carbon neutral by 2030 and to make sure all the amazing branded clothing merchandise and print we produce are coming from sustainable sources, this will be formally announced in January 2022.

‘Last (Chance)’ 2021 @ The Pipe Factory, Glasgow // Images artists own.

Art can have real impact and influence, Robyn put it more eloquently when she said “Art provides a powerful tool in terms of consciousness-raising, agitating, re-framing and addressing both the impact and output of human behavior”. There is no better named location than the smoking pipe factory if you’re talking about environmental impact. We are still an SME and know this will be a step by step process, but if we can inspire others to do the same, and we hope Cop 26 will be a defining moment in helping the planet have a more sustainable future because action is urgently needed, we know many small changes by many people can make a world changing difference!”
