Wild Thang Team’s Annual Christmas Jumper Day !

Last Friday, Wild Thang celebrated our annual Christmas Jumper Day with the team, this is our opportunity to get into the festive spirit and say a big, big thank you to the whole Wild Thang team for their commitment and dedication in helping us achieve so much in 2022, even with the financial challenges we have continued to make fantastic progress as a team and company, our Liverpool Chamber of Commerce Business Of The Year Award really did top it off.

Our fun filled day included a raffle, best Christmas Jumper competition, and surprise treats for the whole team including incredibly tasty pies from Home Baked Bakery which is a Community Owned Bakery in Anfield, Liverpool #MoreThanAPie, a festive mince pie from Costa Coffee and as we are merchandise experts, we also provided a high quality personalised mug as our festive gift for every staff member.   

 

Wild Thang team enjoyed the gift of giving back & some festive treats 

Christmas is the time when we can all make a difference which is why this year for our festive themed Christmas Jumper Day, we raised money for the John Haynes Foundation which is very close to Wild Thang’s heart, with our team having known John before his passing both personally and professionally.

The Foundation itself is focused on delivering professional coaching and mentoring, helping individuals build resilience so they can realise their own potential and ‘Fly With The Eagles’. Our raffle and best Chrimbo Jumper competition raised a total of £400, we’d like to thank our generous staff for contributing and helping make these donations possible, you’re the best.

Our final little bit of Christmas cheer was to encourage our team to donate food items to help those less fortunate so this year we deliver to the St Vincent De Paul Church Food Bank just before we finish for our festive shutdown.

A very Merry Christmas to everyone who has supported Wild Thang in 2022 

Big thank you to everyone who has supported Wild Thang over the past year, wishing all our Clients, Suppliers, Colleagues, Family and Friends a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from the whole team.

Hosted by Roger Jonas with speeches by Everton FC CEO. Denise Barrett Baxendale and Liverpool Metro Mayor Steven Rotheram, with a special menu created by Paul Askew and the Hilton team.The evening raised over £30,000 which will see funds officially establish the foundation for the longer term and develop the programs that will help others to be the best versions of themselves and truly ‘Fly With The Eagles’.

The late great John Haynes who helped so many 'Fly With The Eagles'.

It was a truly spectacular night and very special moment for the Wild Thang team to celebrate the life of a friend and master mentor coach John Haynes but also maybe more importantly his legacy. Before his passing for nearly a decade John had become an integral part of our company family helping Wild Thang and all our employees better themselves on a personal and professional level.

Andrew Dwerryhouse Wild Thang MD commented: “John Haynes was a true mentor and friend to both me and the rest of the Wild Thang team for many years and made a huge difference in the team and companies culture. John was a very special individual and wanted to make a difference in the lives of whoever he met. Whatever the subject or session about leadership or resilience you would come out it feeling 100% more positive and wanting to take on the world.

This is why it felt so important and right to help and support both the formation of the John Haynes Foundation by becoming a trustee, but in a wider way by making sure Wild Thang as a company supported the foundation from a branding and marketing perspective, our team of directors felt this was only right to give back a little piece of what John has given us. From the outset we offered Wild Thangs support to provide all the collateral for the foundation and gala dinner which we are proud of delivering.

All the event collateral and merchandise was lovingly designed and printed by Wild Thang

At each stage we gained approval throughout the design process from John’s partner Linda, the family and the rest of the trustees, we think we have achieved something genuinely world class from design to production, hopefully the photographs of the evening tell the story of a spectacular and successful night that surpassed everyone’s expectations.

A huge thank you from Linda and family, patrons and trustees to everyone who attended, donated and supported the John Haynes Foundation launch, you truly are all eagles. John is gone but never forgotten, his legacy will live on with its aim of inspiring and helping 1 million people to have the resilience and belief to ‘Fly With The Eagles’.
