Wild Thang Raised £400 On There Christmas Jumper Day For The John Haynes Foundation 

So where do we start when it comes to looking back on 2021?

Well we think now more than ever it has to start with a big, huge, massive thank you! Not only to our incredible clients, every order placed has meant so much this year, but also a special nod to our fantastic suppliers, we know having a stable supply chain is central to Wild Thang being able to deliver our world class service.

A big, big thank you to the whole Wild Thang team for their commitment and dedication in helping us achieve so much in 2021, even with the challenges we have continued to make fantastic progress as a team and company, our Liverpool Chamber of Commerce International Award really did top off our year.

We are now back to pre Covid trading and we should all be especially proud for not only retaining every staff member throughout Covid restrictions, but now we are in fact growing our team and believe 2022 will be our biggest and best ever.

 

Wild Thang's Team Getting Into The Christmas Spirit On The Last Day 

Christmas is the time when we can all make a difference which is why this year our festive themed Christmas jumper day  we raised money for the John Haynes Foundation which is very closeto Wild Thangs heart, with our team having known John before his passing both personally and professionally.

The foundation itself is focused on delivering professional coaching and mentoring, helping individuals build resilience so they can realise their own potential and ‘Fly With The Eagles’. Our cake sale, raffle and best Chrimbo jumper competition raised a total of £400 so we’d like to thank our generous staff for contributing and helping make these donations possible, you’re the best.

Hopefully you can see we take our CSR seriously as a company and its our Wild Thang way ethos that means we will always try and make a difference in society and our community.

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!

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.”

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.

The Radio City tower was turned blue in memory of Ava.
