Wild Thang have gone green in support of The Clatterbridge Cancer Charity

Even though it’s been an incredibly difficult year for Wild Thang as it has been for many companies due to the impact of Covid pandemic, our team still feels it is important to continue to try and make a difference. Well done to all the staff that got involved and supported our go green for The Clatterbridge Cancer Charity day.

 

The whole team had great fun in a completely covid secure environment enjoying a selection of goodies in our kitchen mess area dressed in green of course for staff to enjoy and make a donation, we also printed dual branded T-shirt’s for staff to purchase and wear for the day, with all proceeds going to the guys at Clatterbridge.

Charities have been hit as hard as any business so continue to need our support now more than ever with every little donation making a difference, we feel really proud of the teams fundraising efforts by donating £300 - it really is the Wild Thang Way!

The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre is one of the largest networked cancer centers in the UK.

The Clatterbridge Cancer Charity is the only dedicated charity for patients and research at The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre. The Centre makes over 220,000 patient contacts to over 30,000 patients a year, offering pioneering chemotherapy, radiotherapy and proton therapy treatments from eighteen operating sites across Merseyside and Cheshire. By choosing to support this charity, you will help to improve patient experience, fund vital research, the latest therapies and innovations in cancer treatment.

We are so often told that The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre is unlike any other hospital. We pride ourselves on providing an environment in which patients receive the best possible experience, with the special touches that mean so much.

It is so important to us that we can do this for our patients, at our centers in Liverpool, Wirral and Aintree along with our network of chemotherapy clinics in hospitals across the region, and it is something that we certainly aim to bring to our new hospital in the heart of Liverpool.

I’m dreaming of a covid free Christmas just like the ones we used to know !
I’m dreaming of a covid free Christmas just like the ones we used to know !

Where do we start when it comes to looking back on 2020, well I think now more than ever it has to start with a big, huge, massive thank you !

To our incredible clients & suppliers who have all helped us weather the storm that has been 2020, every order placed has meant so much this year and having a stable supply chain is central to us being able to deliver the world class service we strive to deliver.

A big thank you to the whole Wild Thang team for their commitment & dedication in helping us get through what has been the companies most difficult time in its near 25 year history. We all committed as a team from day one of lockdown to make sure we not only survived but thrived as a team and company.

While like many companies sales may have been reduced in 2020, it has not reduced our optimism and determination to make 2021 our most successful ever. It’s due to our teams commitment that our world class development is now completed which places us in our strongest position ever to deliver one world class solution & are always here to help with expert advice to solve any branded clothing, merchandise and print puzzle.

Four years in the making & we can’t wait to give you an official tour of our new world class development when it’s safe to do so in 2021. But until then we will be doing a virtual launch and tour over the coming months that will hopefully showcase how far we have come as a company in the last 24 years.

Christmas is the time when we can all make a difference so as our last job of the year our Team Christmas themed day raised money that went towards buying arts and crafts for the children at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, as we knew this was something that they were running short of, we also made a delivery into Liverpool Cathedrals food bank to help those less fortunate at this time of year.

We’d like to thank our generous staff for contributing and helping make these donations possible, you’re the best. The clock is ticking and we will be closing in the next hour for our festive break, but we’ll be back with a bang on the 4th Jan, recharged and ready to go!

Wild Thang now looks to 2021 with great ambition to make it our most successful ever.

Wishing all Wild Thang’s Clients, Suppliers, Colleagues, Family and Friends A very safe Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Team Wild Thang

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."

Yesterday we lost a true friend & master mentor coach John Haynes
Yesterday we lost a true friend & master mentor coach John Haynes

Yesterday we lost a true friend & master mentor coach John Haynes. He became an integral part of our company family helping Wild Thang & all our employees to learn to fly with the eagles over many years.

 

John had unwavering commitment over the past four decades to raise aspiration and confidence in each individual that have been mentored by him & The International Coaching Academy.

 

He has left a legacy like no other, having had a positive impact on tens of 1000’s of individuals to genuinely realise their potential in the Liverpool City Region and beyond.

 

He attended virtual every company social event over many years & when the time is right in 2021 we will raise a glass to celebrate in style & make sure his gets a fitting tribute dinner to his amazing life and legacy.

 

It is with a very heavy heart that we say farewell to a true legend who will forever be in our hearts & now it is his turn to fly with the eagles & soar higher than ever before.

 

Gone but never forgotten, our thoughts and prayers are with his partner Linda and family at this very difficult time.

Wild Thang are proud to support the Liverpool City Region Tourism Awards 2020

This year they went virtual due to the impact of Covid-19 and it was streamed live on a dedicated You Tube channel on the 10TH of November which was fantastic. This enabled deserving shortlisted nominees to receive some much needed publicity highlighting the very best in the hospitality, event and tourism industry which we know has been very hard hit.

Andrew Dwerryhouse Wild Thang Managing Director commented: “After many years of supporting this fantastic and prestigious event it was great to hear that it was still going ahead with an innovative virtual awards ceremony adapting in the face of the Corona Virus Pandemic. On the evening we were proud to announce Liverpool Gin Distillery as the winners of the Pub Of The Year Category, big congratulations to their whole team, it is such a fantastic & innovative venue.

This year Wild Thang produced the awards for the event & while it has been an incredibly challenging year for so many businesses it’s probably never been more important to support each other wherever, however and whenever you can so we can all survive & thrive.“
