Wild Thang proud to support the Liverpool City Region Tourism Awards 2020  

This year they have gone digital due to the impact of Covid-19 and it will be live streamed on a dedicated you tube channel on the 10^TH of November which is fantastic. This will enable deserving shortlist nomination candidates 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 even in the face of the Corona Virus Pandemic. We are proud to once again get involved & sponsor this award category as there has probably never been a more important moment to support one of the industry’s hardest hit due to Covid restrictions this year.  

Big congrats to all the deserving short list nominations for Pub Of The Year, we wish you all much good luck & we personally can’t wait to get back to enjoying ourselves at some of these first class venues and visitor attractions as soon as it’s safe to do so. While it has been an incredibly challenging year for so many businesses it’s still important to support each other wherever, however and whenever you can so we can all survive & thrive.“

The Red Devils lost out on their first Wembley appearance since 1969, losing 17-16 to Leeds Rhino’s in a thrilling Challenge Cup Final. Even with this disappointing result Wild Thang are still incredibly proud of the club and honoured to be their merchandise partner, along with Kappa Team Wear supplying the highest quality kit.

To reach the Challenge Cup final for the first time in 51 years It was a heartbreaking loss for the coach, staff, players and fans on this occasion but they should take great pride in how they competed in the final at the very highest level, a final that will be talked about for many years to come as a classic.

 John Howarth, Wild Thang Director commented “Even with this disappointing result this is still a huge moment for the club, getting to the final and performing so valiantly in the way they did. Wild Thang are incredibly proud to be their official merchandise and branding partner along with Kappa. It’s been a year of survival as a business for Wild Thang like many others so this is a massive moment for the company and our own team.

Our brand on BBC1, watched by 1.6 million viewers are the wow moments we work so hard for and that will help us survive and thrive in these incredibly challenging times. We have had to react quickly to create the Challenge Cup Final range straight after the Red Devils got into the final with it only being a short window of opportunity to produce and deliver the merchandise range, we have had amazing feedback from both the fans and club.”

Salford Red Devils manager Ian Watson said: “It shows the club and the team are moving in the right direction from where we have been and we’re competing in these big games now. With everything that’s happened, to come here and end up being in a 17-16 result, players and staff being absolutely devastated that we’ve not been able to win, shows a sign of how far we’ve come as a group and as a team over the last few years.”

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.

Derby Road reconfiguration into a dual carriage way is moving closer to completion so we have created a useful graphic that will hopefully help you navigate to Wild Thang trouble free!

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.

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

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