Wild Thang supports St. Hilda’s fundraising for Sunflowers Liverpool!

St. Hilda’s Church of England High School is located in Sefton Park in Liverpool, where approximately 40 members of staff participated in fundraising over £10 000 for a fantastic charity called Sunflowers Liverpool. Wild Thang are proud to have been able to give them a special discounted rate, free setups and provide that free design service to support this great initiative.

 

SUNFLOWERS LIVERPOOL BASED IN DINGLE, LIVERPOOL

1 in 2 of us are affected by cancer in some sort of way, so you can understand why a charity like Sunflowers is so important for our community. The charity is a unique support service to help individuals and families affected by a cancer diagnosis or other life changing illnesses in the Merseyside region. All their services are delivered by a qualified team, specialised and experienced in helping people coping with long-term illness. 

TEAM ST. HILDAS IN ACTION EN-ROUTE TO WALES

The staff of St. Hilda’s started their challenge bright and early at 5:45am, where they followed a planned route in small relay teams from the school all the way to Wales, and then to top it off they finished with a celebratory walk up Moel Famau!

 

ST HILDA’S IN THEIR BRANDED HOODIES

As you can see for yourselves, they are all kitted out in some high quality hoodies branded in house by our print experts that we were told gained lots of attraction during the day. Those around spotted the teams while on their travels and many donated to the cause, collecting up to a whopping £400!

Wild Thang investing in new state of the art DTG branding machinery
Wild Thang investing in new state of the art DTG branding machinery

Wild Thang make an investment of £120K to further enhance their current DTG printing machinery and ensure they continue to strive to deliver world class products and quality to their amazing clients across the UK, and the rest of the world.

Andrew Dwerryhouse, Wild Thang MD commented: 'Even in these incredibly challenging COVID times it is important to look ahead and continue to make important investments like this that will help us deliver our long term aspirational growth plans.

Even in times of economic uncertainly its incredibly important to have that dynamic and continuous improvement mindset because we understand if you are standing still and not adapting then the writing may already be on the wall for any company.

We decided as a team in order to survive and thrive as a company that we needed to continue to invest for the future. As a company we have a one solution mindset so this really compliments Direct To Garment equipment we already have in place but increases our capacity to a much more industrial level with the very latest high quality branding technology which of course will complement our large screen-print, embroidery and heat transfer departments.

Our amazing team undertook three days of training during the installation so have further enhanced their expert DTG knowledge and we are especially excited about the GTX machines environmental credentials with printer inks are manufactured according to Brother's exclusive formulation to provide the best possible results. These DTG inks are amongst the first to not only carry the Oeko-Tex® Certification, but also to be GOTS APPROVED and CPSIA compliant* to help ensure they are safe for printing and environmentally responsible.

For those who don’t know DTG printing it stands for Direct To Garment which is the process of using a modified industrial inkjet printer to apply digital designs directly to garment, it can print any number of colours to an incredibly high resolution meaning there are no longer any boundaries to create incredibly complex designs on short runs. This is the chosen method for on demand where we produce garments as one off or small orders as they are received which is incredibly flexible. We see markets changing and have demand for people to create partnerships where they don’t want to outlay big amounts in either stock or setups so this really opens another set of doors to give our clients yet another possible solution to their branding requirements.

We decided that we wanted to make the first job off the new DTG equipment a special one so we decided to support our friends over at MaxMade who will be taking part in a social distance Santa Dash in memory of Emily Jane Gore, Emily sadly passed away earlier in the year. Their team raised an incredible £5,329 with all proceeds being donated to Willowbrook Hospice. We hope you like our little video montage & photo's to celebrate this significant DTG investment and also to help promote the great fundraising initiative MaxMade are supporting.

After an incredibly difficult year with the impact of Covid we are now focused on Wild Thang looking to 2021 with great ambition and combined with the upcoming completion of our new development we believe the sky really is the limit for dynamic sales growth."

WILD THANG BRANDING GEEK OF THE WEEK WANNA FEEL LIKE ROCKY ?
WILD THANG BRANDING GEEK OF THE WEEK WANNA FEEL LIKE ROCKY ?

Do you want to feel like Rocky? Then simply wear a hoody! Did you know hoodies, hooded tops & hooded sweatshirts have been around a lot longer than you think, documented as part of men's and women's wear for centuries. The word "hood" is said to come from the Anglo-Saxon word "hōd", the garment's style and form can be traced back to Medieval Europe when the normal clothing for monks included a hood called a cowl attached to a tunic or robes and a chaperon or hooded cape was very commonly worn by any outdoor workers. Its appearance was known in England at least as early as the 12th century, possibly an import with the Norman conquest of England. The modern day hooded sweatshirt or hoodie was born of modest origins. Champion Products, which began as the Knickerbocker Knitting Company in 1919, claims to have made the first hooded sweatshirt. Originally a sweater mill, Champion began making sweatshirts in the early 1930's once it developed methods to sew thicker underwear material. They are now a mainstay of street, sports, varsity, fashion & casual uniforms. We print many many 10,000's each year for a variety of organisations & promotions, there is a vast range of colours, styles, qualities available at Wild Thang, all of which can be embroidered or screen printed. In my opinion, the iconic use of a hoodie in the Rocky film may well have been the catalyst for the huge modern day popularity. Everyone loves an underdog that achieves their dreams, so I say let’s all start wearing hoodies and keep on dreamin! Remember we are here to help with expert branded clothing, merchandise.
