With summer drawing to an end for one more year it was great for our Wild Thang team who have worked so hard this year to meet up outside of the workplace for our summer social event.  The team first met up outside the Liver buildings, It was a picture perfect evening with vibrant blue sky’s and we was taken on an exclusive guided tour to enjoy the spectacular 360° views of the Liverpool skyline from the 15^th-floor viewing platform and then made the short walk to the brilliant Ma Boyles for drinks and food as a team.

The Liver building skyline tour was an amazing experience for the whole team, standing at 322 feet tall the view from the 15th-floor viewing platform was nothing short of breathtaking, It really gave the team a chance to relax and take in the world famous Liverpool skyline. Along with the view, we were also given a spectacular immersive Audio-Visual show inside the historic clock tower and learn all about Liverpool’s iconic landmark and some key moments in the cities history.

A favourite part of the tour for everyone was when the team got to see some of the retail merchandise we have produced here at Wild Thang for the Royal Liver Building 360 available on the tour alongside the NHS shirts we also produced in the past. It really was branding in action you don’t get to experience, and it spotlighted to the team where hard work goes.

After the tour we made the short walk across the road to one of the oldest and best pubs in Liverpool, opening in 1870 to this day in 2022 Ma Boyle’s is still setting the standard for great cocktails, local ales, and delicious home-cooked food. Upon arrival, we were taken to a private room in the basement to enjoy some food and drinks as a team.

We know the importance of thanking key member of our team so we took time out at Ma Boyles to celebrate some significant long term Wild Thang work anniversaries.   

10 years at Wild Thang In June ! Lou

5 Year at Wild Thang In July ! Lubi

In true Wild Thang way fashion we were able to give our new starters Callum, Lewis, & Raquel a warm Wild Thang welcome mention at this WT social event.

We also took time out at the event to offer a big thanks from the directors to every single member of our team for their hard work, efforts  and commitment so far this year

It really is the Wild Thang Way.

The experience provided a great chance to bond and have fun together as a team outside the work environment which is a huge part of the modern-day workplace.

Finally, the whole Wild Thang team would like to extend a huge thank you thanks to Ma Boyle’s, Royal Liver Building 360 and their staff, we highly recommend both venues for team events or even with family.  If you would like more info about either venue or Wild Thang, simply click on the link.

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.

Big thank you to everyone who has made sure those NHS heroes know They’ll Never Walk Alone by purchasing a t-shirt over the past few weeks.

Just so you know the impact you have been making by purchasing a t-shirt we have put together an info graphic, which was designed by our very talented studio.

We have been overwhelmed by the positive feedback with lots of people posting photo’s which really has made us feel incredibly proud as a team, and really makes us feel that our efforts to make a difference are worthwhile. Sharing our message across social media was the real aim and that has been achieved with tens of thousands of social media interactions.

As you know our first order to be dispatched was a very special delivery to 100-year-old Captain Tom Moore as a birthday treat, what an incredible hero that has captured the nation’s hearts with his fundraising for the NHS.

We have even had a few high profile t-shirt purchases, from the amazing comedian Johnny Vegas, who has been on tour around the hospitals in the North West giving his time up selflessly for those NHS Heroes, and many thanks to the very talented Celebrity Chef from Sunday Brunch on Channel 4, Simon Rimmer.

But the highlight for the week was from Ellie Orton, CEO of NHS Charities Together who commented “Well done for all the support you are giving to NHS charities this is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing with us, we really appreciate it. Thank you so much for your support to NHSCT and our members. I love the videos and selfies they are great.”

We have had orders from across the UK and Internationally so we’re happy to report we have sold over 370 t-shirt’s over the past few weeks.

Don’t forget every t-shirt purchased we are donating 50% to NHS Charities or a t-shirt to an NHS hero in their fight against the virus, to let those heroes get the message loud and clear, whilst also importantly promoting social distancing.

Like many businesses in the UK it’s a worrying time, our sales have understandably slowed since lockdown so initiatives like this even in a small way will also help Wild Thang to reintroduce staff when the UK starts to return to normality, we cannot wait to be back up to full strength and doing what we do best, which as a company is to try and make a difference to those around us, it’s part of our ethos, and as we say - ‘It’s the Wild Thang Way!’.

Together we can all make a difference T-shirts still available over on the Wild Thang Shop

What a fantastic week one!

Big thank you to everyone who has made sure those NHS Heroes Know They Will Never Walk Alone by purchasing a t-shirt this past week.

The first orders for our t-shirts have been delivered over the past week and we have been overwhelmed by the positive feedback.

Lots of people have been posting photo’s which has got us all a bit emotional at Wild Thang & really makes us feel our efforts are worthwhile & are making a difference. More amazing images to follow and thank you so much to everyone who is supporting and letting those NHS Heroes know they Will Never Walk Alone #NHSwillneverwalkalone

Our first order to be dispatched as a very special delivery was of course heading to 99-year-old Captain Tom Moore, who has captured the nation’s hearts with his fundraising for the NHS.

We have had orders from around the UK but also got our first international order which is heading over to Sweden. Happy to report that positive momentum seems to be building, having sold just under over 200 t-shirt’s in the first 7 days which is a great start.

Hopefully this is just the start so it’s critical for everyone to continue spreading the word that our NHS Heroes will never walk alone.

Remember Wild Thang wanted to make a difference to help let them heroes know they will never walk alone whilst also promoting social distancing.

For every t-shirt purchased we will donate 50% to NHS Charities Charity No 1186569 OR a t-shirt to an NHS hero in their fight against the virus.

Like many businesses in the UK it’s a worrying time, our sales have understandably slowed down considerably since lockdown so initiatives like this even in a small way will also help Wild Thang to reintroduce staff when the UK starts to return to normality, we cannot wait to be back up to full strength and doing what we do best, which as a company is to try and make a difference to those around us, it’s part of our ethos, and as we say -

‘It’s the Wild Thang Way!’

If you would like any further information relating to anything in this blog post or have branded requirements please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Wild Thang wanted to make a difference, so for each t-shirt purchased we have committed to donate 50% of the purchase price to NHS charities Charity No 1186569 , or send a t-shirt to NHS staff on the front line of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The initial idea for the NHS themed t-shirts came about after we created social distancing t-shirts as our last job before lockdown for our amazing team before some started working remotely.

The feedback from our friends and family was awesome and they loved the design, but still we wanted to do more, so we donated 28 sacks of garments for NHS workers over at Clatterbridge Hospital on the Wirral, we then also printed some cotton shopper bags for amazing Liverpool Women’s Hospital staff, all linked to helping in the fight against corona virus.

This got the team thinking, how else can we make a difference? We came up with the idea to produce a range of t-shirts so those NHS heroes really know they will never walk alone, and we can continue to raise awareness/make a difference in the fight against Covid-19, one t-shirt at a time!

Our creative team developed some awesome designs, we asked the public to vote for their favorites and they are now available in all their glory on the Wild Thang shop!

Please remember, if you do make a purchase you will not only be helping the NHS, you will also be helping Wild Thang in a small way to reintroduce staff as the UK starts to return to normality.

To all our loyal customers, suppliers, family and friends.

Our sales and creative teams are currently working from home! …however our UK production facility is temporarily closed until Tuesday 14th April

Following Mondays announcement from the Prime Minister, Wild Thang have made the decision to temporarily close our UK Production and Warehouse facility until Tuesday 14th April, as per government guidelines, even though we plan to reopen thereafter please be aware that may change with any new advice that is forthcoming.

Andrew Dwerryhouse, MD at Wild Thang commented: “Wild Thang are proud to have made this donation and are sure every little counts, It’s this time of year that our thoughts turn to those most in need when the weather takes a turn for the worse for vulnerable homeless people, especially when having to deal with freezing temperatures. That’s exactly why we donated a sizable amount of clothing including jackets, hoodies and hats to the Cotton Street Homeless Project and Whitechapel Homeless Centre which will hopefully keep a number of people safe and warm this winter. As part of the companies charitable fundraising the staff Christmas Jumper day held prior to the festive break raised over £200 which will be split between these two great organisations. We encourage others to get involved as the more people/companies/organisations involved in trying to make an impact the better the outcome will be, which is ultimately all focused on trying to eradicate homelessness in the Liverpool City Region for good.”
