Wild Thang wishes you all a Merry Sustainable Christmas!

We are in the business of providing world class branded clothing and print, we also place our CSR responsibilities central to our company and teams culture that’s why this year the gifts we will be sending to our own clients will be very much focused on sustainability with a message wishing everyone a merry sustainable Christmas. We want you to know a big part of our company vision for the next 10 years will be focused on sustainability and as one of the key components we will be aiming to be carbon neutral by 2030.

This year the products we will be sending to our own amazing clients will be focused on sustainability and reusability encouraging everyone who receives a gift to Use IT, Reuse IT, and then Recycle IT. See below a small description and link to each of the products we are producing in a variety of thank you gift packs so they can be assured all the products come from a sustainable source or have some sort of eco credentials:

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!

 

One Of The Wild Thang Eco Gift Packs.

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.

Wild Thang Provide T-shirts for Ava White Vigil to support the NO More Knives Campaign!
Wild Thang Provide T-shirts for Ava White Vigil to support the NO More Knives Campaign!

Our last print job of last week was one we wished we didn’t need to do, but we are still proud to have made a donation of T-shirt’s to No More Knives initiative for the Ava White vigil, which took place in Liverpool over last weekend.

Banner created by football fans to support the campaign at the Liverpool Derby.

Ava senselessly lost her life during the Christmas light switch on, we are committed as a team and company to raising awareness and supporting this type of initiative as this needs to stop now. Our whole teams thoughts are prayers are with Ava’s family and friends & the only way we can end this cowardly behaviour is together as a community.

The T-shirts Wild Thang provided for the Ava White vigil.

Seeing so many attend the vigil for Ava gives hope that we can all make a difference in promoting the simple No More Knives In Our City message.

The Radio City tower was turned blue in memory of Ava.

Wild Thang are committed to a sustainable future and proud to support a talented artist exhibit at Cop 26!
Wild Thang are committed to a sustainable future and proud to support a talented artist exhibit at Cop 26!

Wild Thang as a company are 100% committed to a sustainable future and proud to have supported the very talented artist Robyn Woolston whose art is focused on environmental impact issues. Robyn’s exhibition during Cop 26 has taken place between 31st Oct - 12th Nov in Glasgow on the ground floor of the Pipe Factory, in a space built by William White and Sons in 1877, as a clay smoking pipe factory.

Main photo featured in blog peice is ‘Last (Chance)’ 2021 @ The Pipe Factory, Glasgow // Images artists own.

Andrew Dwerryhouse Commented: “We have followed Robyn Woolston for many years and know her passion to help the future of the planets environment through her world class artwork and we knew we had to support. Wild Thang are aligned and committed to create a sustainable future as a company and prior to Cop 26 started the process of making our own internal future sustainability promise.

 

‘Last (Chance)’ 2021 @ The Pipe Factory, Glasgow // Images artists own.

We are an organisation that wants to be part of the solution rather than the problem. We already hold ISO 14001 certification and have clear policies and some great examples of changes we have already made such as electric car charging point, recycling all cardboard and paper waste, plus a range of other initiatives.

Charging point being installed at Wild Thang HQ.

Our eco range has never been bigger but we want to go much further and we know the time to act is now, so when this opportunity came up to support Robyn it seemed the perfect fit. Part of the support included creating a brief statement about what the commitment will be from Wild Thang.

The Artist Robyn Woolston.

As part of the statement we shared with Robyn we described how we have just created our company vision for the next 10 years, with sustainability as one of the key components for that vision so as a company we will be aiming to be carbon neutral by 2030 and 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.

‘Last (Chance)’ 2021 @ The Pipe Factory, Glasgow // Images artists own.

Art can have real impact and influence, Robyn put it more eloquently when she said “Art provides a powerful tool in terms of consciousness-raising, agitating, re-framing and addressing both the impact and output of human behavior”. There is no better named location than the smoking pipe factory if you’re talking about environmental impact. We are still an SME and know this will be a step by step process, but if we can inspire others to do the same, and we hope Cop 26 will be a defining moment in helping the planet have a more sustainable future because action is urgently needed, we know many small changes by many people can make a world changing difference!”

Wild Thang Nominated as a finalist for the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce International Award!
Wild Thang Nominated as a finalist for the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce International Award!

Wild Thang Nominated as a finalist for the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce International Award! We are incredibly proud as a team to announce that we have been nominated as a finalist for the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce International Award. As for many businesses 2020/21 has been a rollercoaster ride and probably the most challenging year in our 25 year history so when we found out we were a finalist it really did make the teams year so far. When the pandemic hit sales fell off a cliff for many areas of our business but we were determined as a team that we would not be defined as a company by the development, covid or Brexit so we adapted quickly to ensure we could not only survive, but also thrive as a team and company, so this is a very special moment.

Photo's of the newly redeveloped world class Wild Thang HQ distributing across europe & globally

Andrew Dwerryhouse Wild Thang MD commented “It certainly has been the perfect storm with the ongoing £2m development of our HQ nearing final completion and the unique challenges that brings, plus add a global pandemic and the troubles Brexit has brought, we got three huge challenges for the price of one!”

Wild Thang's senior team finally get the opportunity to resume normal meetings and discuss the opportunities that will come from opening the new Dublin office

“We are so proud as a team we have hopefully now come through that storm with flying colours by adapting to create a unique offer, so now we have never been more excited about the future and Wild Thang’s export growth potential which we highlighted in the supporting finalist evidence we provided about our plans to grow turnover and our exports by 20-25% in 2022.” “We are proud to have retained all staff throughout this challenging time & have already added 4 new staff to our team over the past month in preparation for that projected growth."

25 year ago Wild Thang started with a small princes trust loan here is a photo of one of the very early premises 

"I also recently participated in an LCC video which I will share as soon as available that highlighted our Brexit challenge story of how we have adapted as a company and Team, and personally thanked the Chamber of commerce for their support navigating pre and post Brexit.” “It would never be right without acknowledging everyone involved so big thanks to our team, clients, suppliers and everyone else who has supported Wild Thang.”

Wild Thang are proud to have produced & sponsored the t-shirts in partnership with one of our amazing clients - Hat Scarf Or A Badge - to support 'An Hour For Others Charity' which raised around £14k in the process.

They are a charity with a big heart  and believe Together We Are Strong and are doing great things in the community & promoting that every single one of us is part of the community and has a responsibility in making it the best it can be.

Many of us also have a particular skill or talent that can help improve somebody else's life. Kindness, compassion, respect and belief costs nothing.  As busy as life is we can all find some time each week or month to help build our community and inspire others to get involved.  The smallest compliment and act of kindness can transform somebody's world. A community should always support it's most vulnerable and work together to help it thrive. 

Talking of big hearts, it was great to see Jamie Carragher and his foundation - The Jamie Carragher 23 Foundation - getting behind and supporting this fantastic event. I know a lot of people gave up their time to participate and support which is what it was all about with a great finale at Anfield venue Taggy's Bar, the venue created a real positive post party atmosphere.

After the difficult year everyone has had due to Covid its fantastic to see there is still real appetite to make a difference, this is an example of some awesome businesses and people making a difference, as the Beatles once sang “the love you take should be equal to the love you make“

WILD Thang Development Update
WILD Thang Development Update

A big thank you to our friends Tarways Asphalte who have completed a great job resurfacing our car park and goods in areas, these have now been marked up with our disabled and electric charging bays.

Benson Signs have also been back on site to fit high level signage to our Derby Road elevation, showing the world what we’re all about! It’s been a very tough journey with development and COVID disruption, but we’re edging closer to final development completion.

Who said manufacturing premises had to be boring or run of the mill, we are really proud to have had the aspiration to create something world class with the help of Liverpool based K2 Architects & Frank Rogers Building Contractor Limited.

Its hopefully not long now as we literally can’t wait to be able to invite you guys & gals to our grand unveiling when it’s safe to do so!
