Wild Thang are proud to support BTR Road Runners who organized their first Medal Muddle 5K, which is a community running event, raising £800 for the RNLI whilst welcoming new runners of all abilities and having a positive environmental impact.

Wild Thang Managing Director Andrew Dwerryhouse commented: “When we were first told about the Medal Muddle concept we were so impressed and said straight away that Wild Thang definitely wanted to be involved somehow to support this unique community led 5K series of race events. We have been a supplier to BTR for many years so know the collaboration and partnership can make a real difference so we are genuinely proud to have got involved from the very beginning. As a company it ticked a number of areas from a CSR point of view, supporting a community volunteer led running club and raising much needed money for local charities. But in turn upcycling products to minimise waste. With sustainability being central to our ISO 14001 environmental certification it was a perfect fit to give those t-shirts and medals a new lease of life, making sure they did not get muddled up into having a negative environmental impact”

BTR Race Director Alan Rothwell commented: “We’re delighted to donate past race event medals and T-shirts as part of our commitment to going green and doing our bit for the environment. BTR Road Runners are delighted to have the support of our long running supplier, Wild Thang, it’s fantastic they are involved in this new and innovative initiative which also meets their sustainability standards.”

The next race is taking place on the 28th September 2019 with funds raised this time going to Pawprints Wildlife Rescue Charity.

2018 is a very special year for the city region, being 10 years since Capital Of Culture & Wild Thang are really proud to be sponsoring & supplying the Culture Teams Uniform. In 2008 Liverpool was named European Capital of Culture, since then they have never been far from the spotlight. Over the last five years Culture Liverpool, Liverpool City Council’s cultural service, has continued to build on its world class reputation, using culture as the driving force for the regeneration of the whole city.

Andrew Dwerryhouse MD at Wild Thang commented “We have been involved in some way or form in virtually every major cultural event over the past 10 + years, Wild Thang have seen first-hand the importance of cultural activity across our region and how it is helping grow our local visitor economy creating both employment and investment. The 10^th anniversary since Capital of Culture is a very significant moment for the whole of the Liverpool City Region. 2018 is hosting an array of world class cultural events & that’s exactly why we are so proud to have partnered with the Liverpool Culture Team to supply a quality uniform for their team that will keep them comfortable, protected and visible over the next year at all major events. Did you know the vast majority of these major cultural events are free to the public and need the support of the private sector to fill the funding gaps to ensure they continue to happen, so that’s why we are so proud that this forms an important part of our very own Corporate Social Responsibility”

Sue Finnegan commented Head of Commercial & Marketing at Culture Liverpool “We have worked with Andrew and his team at Wild Thang for over 15 years due to their passion for the City, their dedication to delivering first class customer care and quality products. The team are never afraid to say ‘I don’t think that will work’ and come up with fantastic ideas delivering the maximum ROI for clients such as ourselves and we absolutely see them as an extension to our team – the team behind the city’s 2008 European Capital of Culture celebrations. Choosing a supplier to partner with for the team’s kit was a no brainer and to work with a Liverpool home grown company makes it all the more satisfying.”
