The Champions League Final is considered one of the top footballing events on the world stage with a worldwide audience of over 400 million predicted to watch live, so when it comes to talking about something that Wild Thang has branded, I am sure you can understand our complete and utter excitement.

HENDERSON, LFC'S CAPTAINS SHIRT

LFC TV paid a visit to Wild Thang HQ where they captured our embroidery expert and supervisor Darren Farrell, working his magic with his great attention to detail to the first team kits. This was not the first time Darren has featured on LFC TV; we could say that he has become quite the expert in front of the camera alongside the day job too.

EMBROIDERY EXPERT DARREN FARRELL WITH THE VIDEOGRAPHER FROM LFC TV

The promotional videos that were produced by LFC TV have already gone viral on the LFC socials for the lead up to the match. They received over 85K of views in the first hour, which is just incredible and a very proud moment for all of us to be able to be a part of that.

LFC TV CAPTURING DARREN IN ACTION

We are truly thankful for LFC for trusting Wild Thang to produce some world class branding for such a special occasion. We all agree that ‘Made in Liverpool for Liverpool’ truly does have a nice ring to it and we wish the club all the best of luck for the day.

Wild Thang takes another step towards International success!

With offices, warehousing and distribution based in Dublin and Kilkenny we can service our growing number of international clients. As part of that significant growth plan Wild Thang have become members of the British and Irish Trading Alliance to help build their customer base and supply chain worldwide.

We already have strong and well established business relationships with some great Irish companies so it’s fantastic to finally be able to announce that we are now also an Irish trading entity”.

LEFT JOHN HOWARTH WT DIRECTOR MIDDLE PAUL WHITNELL BITA PRESIDENT RIGHT ANDREW DWERRYHOUSE WT MD

“We believe Dublin had to be our natural European base, not only because of the proximity but also the special and close trading relationship Liverpool and the Republic of Ireland has had over the centuries. It’s not a straightforward path and it’s been a challenging journey each step of the way to get to this point, but the teams hard work has paid off to now create seamless trade between the UK, Ireland, Europe and beyond”.

WILD THANG ATTENDED THE DUBLIN BITA EVENT AT THE INTERCONTINENTAL HOTEL IN FEBRUARY

“Wild Thang have already seen significant demand for international distribution over the last few years, and now we have big growth plans for 2022 this really is another exciting piece of the puzzle that will help us meet those long term growth aspirations. We have already started to grow our network by becoming a member of the British Irish Trading Alliance in January and have recently attended our first Dublin B2B BITA event in February”.

SPECIAL & CLOSE TRADING RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LIVERPOOL AND THE REPUBLIC OF IRELAND

“BITA are a fantastic organisation that puts a huge amount of emphasis on facilitating building positive business relationships through friendship for the long term. I would personally like to thank Paul Whitnell who is president at BITA and has taken time out to visit Wild Thangs UK HQ, made some fantastic introductions and genuinely given us the warmest of welcomes in true Irish spirit”. “So there we are, with the luck of the Irish we will reach our growth aspirations and we’ll be enjoying the craic on the journey, as that’s The Wild Thang Way”.

HAPPY ST PATRICK'S DAY MERCHANDISE IN ACTION

Wild Thang managing director Andrew Dwerryhouse commented: “We know over he last few years it has been super tough for our team and their families dealing with all the pandemic challenges, but we also know that everyone will be touched by mental health concerns in their lifetime at some point. I have personally been through some very low times and seen first-hand how difficult it can be dealing with these issues both in business and personally.

RACHEL COOGAN CHASING THE STIGMA LEFT DEANNE WALSH AMBASSADOR OF HOPE TRAINER RIGHT

So we decided as a company that there was never a better time to embrace and to try our best to normalise the mental health conversations within Wild Thang. It’s great to be able to support a charity that is doing some amazing work in this area but just as importantly to get the in-depth training that would make a positive impact for the long term.

CHASING THE STIGMA PROMOTIONL MATERIAL AND POSTERS 

I have met the founder of the charity Jake Mills and his story is an inspiration, it really gives hope to anyone suffering from mental health issues that there is always light at the end of the tunnel no matter how low someone maybe feeling. Always remember there are people that can help and support you which can be signposted through the fantastic Hub of Hope database.

DEANNE WALSH TRAINER & WILD THANG SENIOR TEAM WHO PARTICPATED IN THE TRAINING  

We are really proud of how our senior team embraced the training in an open and honest way, talking about their own personal or families challenges. The Ambassador of Hope training plus we received from Chasing the Stigma was fantastic, big thanks to the trainer who delivered really insightful and in-depth helpful advice that really has given us the tools to be better equipped to support not only our wider team but also family and friends from a mental health and wellbeing perspective It really is the Wild Thang Way.”
