Wild Thang will never stop saying thank you to our amazing team!

We will never stop saying thank you to our amazing team and in these challenging covid times it’s still so important to let our team know that we care, and the door is always open!

A message from the senior management to our amazing team. “We know the past 6-7 Months have been challenging on so many levels and this will have had an impact on everyone’s physical and mental well-being at some point over that time. We want to personally thank you all for showing such resilience over the past months to help us overcome some of those challenges and the extra time, energy and efforts some individuals have freely given.

 

To all those who have gone out of their way to make sure even in these challenging times we are still delivering the ultimate service and products to our clients which gives us the best possible chance of surviving and thriving as an organisation. We know there are still many challenges relating to Covid 19 and its impact but we thought it was important to take a moment as a company and as a team to reflect on the positives that are happening even in the face of the virus and its impact on the company. We have been continuing to complete some work to the very highest of world class standards, adapt and innovate and are now closer than ever to completing the building development to finally create the best possible workplace environment for all our employees after 4 difficult years of planning.

We hope you enjoyed the little breakfast treat and please find enclosed a personalised Wild Thang water bottle for each member of the team as a reminder to stay hydrated, stay healthy and hopefully also avoid any cross contamination. Never has there been a more important time to look out for each other, follow all the safety guidelines to make sure we are a covid secure business.

Please remember the door is always open should you ever need to talk about any concerns related to your physical or mental wellbeing, support is always available as we are in this together. It’s good to talk and we want to talk about any concerns, there is also help and links available on the NHS website. Let’s remember to keep a positive outlook, work as a team and together we will beat this virus thang so we can survive, thrive and create a better future for every employee.”

From All the Management Team @ Wild Thang

Maybe our little initiative can be an inspiration to other companies or organisations to keep the teams morale or client positive and buoyant by making it personal. Secondary to the message we wanted to deliver as a company the added bonus and the reason for the green cap is to embrace reusability and sustainability - water bottles is one way of helping deliver a positive environmental impact.

100% back open for business but 100% making sure we are a Covid secure workplace!

Wild Thang have been 100% open for business throughout the corona virus outbreak working remotely & working hard throughout that time for our clients. Like many businesses in the UK it’s a worrying time, our sales have understandably slowed, but we are now starting to create a little momentum with the easing of the lockdown rules.

 

Taking it step by step, we are open across all areas of the business including manufacturing & starting to reintroduce some of our amazing team.

 

It’s critically important that our employees, clients and suppliers know we are a Covid Secure Workplace so we are taking many extra precautions which include:

• Several hygiene stations fitted in the offices and production warehouse.

• A one way system through the building.

• Signage throughout the premises.

• Face covering snoods and personal hand sanitisers for all staff.

• Hand wash, Hand gels and wipes in rest areas.

• Extra contract cleaning in all areas.

• Split lunch & rest breaks to minimise numbers in rest areas.

 

All done to ensure that our amazing team’s health and safety is at the forefront of our minds. Wild Thang cannot wait to be back up to full strength and doing what we do best for our clients & partners.

 

We hope business increases over the coming weeks & months so we can bring more of our team back and get this show fully back on the road!

 

We hope everyone who is going back to their places of work stay safe and keep their social distancing, we’ll be promoting it every step of the way!

Don't forget we have an extensive hygiene & protection range that can help your workplace become covid secure.

Heartfelt thank you from Wild Thang  to everyone who has purchased an NHS t-shirt !
Heartfelt thank you from Wild Thang to everyone who has purchased an NHS t-shirt !

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

Further ISO success for Wild Thang
Further ISO success for Wild Thang

Even though we have been working remotely because of corona virus, that was never going to stop Wild Thang from making improvements, even in incredibly challenging circumstances. We are incredibly proud as a team to announce the award of ISO 27001, which now creates a trio of ISO standard certifications at Wild Thang.

Andrew Dwerryhouse, Managing Director, commented: “We are absolutely delighted to announce our ISO27001 certification, especially given the challenges that Covid-19 is creating for companies and organisations across the UK, it shows we are still 100% open for business.

Many thanks to Carrie Dwerryhouse who has worked incredibly hard along with the rest of the team over the past months to get this certification in place. It’s another important piece of our certification jigsaw and now makes a trio of ISO standard successes for Wild Thang, which also include ISO9001 and ISO14001.

Add those to the highest possible industry certification of BPMA charter standard, Sedex and Promota, we are certain that we are one of the most qualified and certified companies in our industry across the whole of the UK and likely to be the only company in the Liverpool City Region that can offer such world class standards.

Wild Thang may be well known for branded clothing and print but there is so much more to us than meets the eye. All of those products require us to create amazing innovative packaging and distribute them to locations all over the world.

We have always had the strictest governance and policy in place when it came to handling confidential data but now having the ISO27001 certification offers our clients complete peace of mind. This proves we have the ability to protect all corporate information and data, manage threats and demonstrates that we have the systems in place to protect corporate information and data of any size, whether this is online or offline. We can manage data at any level and for any size of distribution or mailing projects, our clients will have complete confidence that their data is 100% safe, secure and confidential.

We will never stop taking the next steps to making improvement in every area of the business because..........’It’s the Wild Thang way’.

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 -

Wild Thangs t-shirt range lets our NHS heroes know they will never walk alone in the fight against Covid-19!!
Wild Thangs t-shirt range lets our NHS heroes know they will never walk alone in the fight against Covid-19!!

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.

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.
