I’m dreaming of a covid free Christmas just like the ones we used to know !

Where do we start when it comes to looking back on 2020, well I think now more than ever it has to start with a big, huge, massive thank you !

To our incredible clients & suppliers who have all helped us weather the storm that has been 2020, every order placed has meant so much this year and having a stable supply chain is central to us being able to deliver the world class service we strive to deliver.

A big thank you to the whole Wild Thang team for their commitment & dedication in helping us get through what has been the companies most difficult time in its near 25 year history. We all committed as a team from day one of lockdown to make sure we not only survived but thrived as a team and company.

While like many companies sales may have been reduced in 2020, it has not reduced our optimism and determination to make 2021 our most successful ever. It’s due to our teams commitment that our world class development is now completed which places us in our strongest position ever to deliver one world class solution & are always here to help with expert advice to solve any branded clothing, merchandise and print puzzle.

Four years in the making & we can’t wait to give you an official tour of our new world class development when it’s safe to do so in 2021. But until then we will be doing a virtual launch and tour over the coming months that will hopefully showcase how far we have come as a company in the last 24 years.

Christmas is the time when we can all make a difference so as our last job of the year our Team Christmas themed day raised money that went towards buying arts and crafts for the children at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, as we knew this was something that they were running short of, we also made a delivery into Liverpool Cathedrals food bank to help those less fortunate at this time of year.

We’d like to thank our generous staff for contributing and helping make these donations possible, you’re the best. The clock is ticking and we will be closing in the next hour for our festive break, but we’ll be back with a bang on the 4th Jan, recharged and ready to go!

Wild Thang now looks to 2021 with great ambition to make it our most successful ever.

Wishing all Wild Thang’s Clients, Suppliers, Colleagues, Family and Friends A very safe Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Team Wild Thang

LOOKING BACK ON A 'WILD' 2019
LOOKING BACK ON A 'WILD' 2019

It’s been one of the most exciting and challenging years in Wild Thang’s 23 years in business and we are more excited than ever to get our exciting redevelopment completed so we can really do our Thang and shoot for the stars!

You may know us for just printing t-shirts, or just supplying branded pens, but hopefully you will be pleasantly surprised about what we have been up to over the past 12 months and get a much better understanding of the truly extensive range of world class products and services we provide.

 

It’s been a Wild 2019

January was an incredibly exciting moment, after 4 years of hard work and preparation we were finally granted planning permission to redevelop the premises.

 

February and our development was competitively tendered and we were chuffed that local Liverpool company Frank Rogers were successful to create a trio of local companies involved in our exciting new development.

 

March gave us the opportunity to produce the official merchandise for the Liver Building 360 tour, Liverpool’s newest and most innovative attraction!

April was immense, whilst we attended the World Famous Grand National at Aintree Racecourse we spotted the playing cards we had produced for the Jockey Club in the hospitality lounges.

May was the month that we finally broke ground on the development, a momentous moment for sure, it was fantastic, and with much relief to finally get the build underway.

June allowed us to put the final touches to Liverpool Football Clubs 1st team player’s jerseys and training kit with the embroidery to commemorate the Champions League Final in Madrid, we are proud to be an official branding partner for one of the greatest football clubs in the world.

July and the development is making exciting progress with the steel frame and cladding being completed, so really starting to become a reality that all the effort and planning made with the very talented K2 Architects, to create a development that had integrity to add something dynamic to the city scape was finally paying off.

August, wow we are very proud to be voted as one of the top merchandise and corporate gift distributors in the UK, and the only representative based in the Liverpool City Region for 2018.

 

September seen the launch of the medal muddle initiative with our friends at BTR. CSR is at the heart of Wild Thang as a company, so we were proud to make an effort to not only help raise much needed money for local charities, but in turn upcycling products to minimise waste. 

October and Salford Red Devils reach the Rugby League Grand Final at Old Trafford, against all the odds, we were incredibly proud and privileged to be part of their journey this year as their Official Branding, Merchandise and Retail Partner following the commencement of a 3 year deal with our friends at Kappa UK.

November - I’m a celebrity, get me out of here! In every jungle there has to be a Wild Thang and that just happened to be us! Producing the Official Merchandise for one of the biggest programs on TV.

December and its time to have yourself a merry eco Christmas. This year we wanted to highlight a number of innovative products that are all about sustainability, reusability and recyclability, which included a straw for life, collapsible reusable coffee cup and a draw string tote bag, made in part of recycled cotton blend and plastic bottles! If you has been a good boy or girl this year you may even receive one of our Wild Thang branded, eco orientated, corporate merchandise gifts!

Topping off an incredible 2019, and something huge for us to celebrate is our new building officially becoming water tight, so we can starting planning the interior design, new office layouts and the official launch in March, so watch this space...

 

We have come a long way since that £1500 Princes Trust loan 23 years ago, so we are more excited about the future than ever before and what we can achieve as a team in 2020. When the team works the dream works, so we would like to wholeheartedly thank and wish all of our amazing team, clients and friends a very merry and Wild Christmas, this New Year don’t worry about a Thang, so we can make it a very prosperous 2020 together.

 

We are always here to help with branded clothing, merchandise and print advice!

 

Team Wild Thang.
