The Red Devils lost out on their first Wembley appearance since 1969, losing 17-16 to Leeds Rhino’s in a thrilling Challenge Cup Final. Even with this disappointing result Wild Thang are still incredibly proud of the club and honoured to be their merchandise partner, along with Kappa Team Wear supplying the highest quality kit.

To reach the Challenge Cup final for the first time in 51 years It was a heartbreaking loss for the coach, staff, players and fans on this occasion but they should take great pride in how they competed in the final at the very highest level, a final that will be talked about for many years to come as a classic.

 John Howarth, Wild Thang Director commented “Even with this disappointing result this is still a huge moment for the club, getting to the final and performing so valiantly in the way they did. Wild Thang are incredibly proud to be their official merchandise and branding partner along with Kappa. It’s been a year of survival as a business for Wild Thang like many others so this is a massive moment for the company and our own team.

Our brand on BBC1, watched by 1.6 million viewers are the wow moments we work so hard for and that will help us survive and thrive in these incredibly challenging times. We have had to react quickly to create the Challenge Cup Final range straight after the Red Devils got into the final with it only being a short window of opportunity to produce and deliver the merchandise range, we have had amazing feedback from both the fans and club.”

Salford Red Devils manager Ian Watson said: “It shows the club and the team are moving in the right direction from where we have been and we’re competing in these big games now. With everything that’s happened, to come here and end up being in a 17-16 result, players and staff being absolutely devastated that we’ve not been able to win, shows a sign of how far we’ve come as a group and as a team over the last few years.”

Why not take a look at the Challenge Cup Final range we produced.

Wild Thang are incredibly proud as our NHS campaign T-shirts are featured in a new display at the Museum of Liverpool to document the impact Covid-19 has had on our communities and City.

Andrew Dwerryhouse commented: “As for many companies across the UK it continues to be a challenging time for Wild Thang as a business because of the effects of Corona Virus and the lockdown, so when this came completely out of the blue it was a real team morale booster & has filled Wild Thang with such pride.

Our team's efforts to make a difference by producing our branded campaign t-shirts to raise funds and awareness to highlight the efforts the NHS were making and the importance of social distancing, has been recognised.

It’s a real honour to know we have made our very own little piece of history that will be documented in the museum archives for decades and even centuries to come, made in Liverpool, and displayed in the Museum of Liverpool. It was a real treat to be shown the Covid curation in person by the curator of this display Kay Jones at Museum of Liverpool.

When we viewed the display in person we even spotted some printed cotton tote bags we had produced for those volunteer faces shield manufacturing heroes Merseyside PPE Hub who were also included in the curation.

Photo: Merseyside PPE Hub where also involved in the display which involved a printed tote bag we had produced for them. 

If any good has come out of this incredibly difficult time it is the way our communities have pulled together and really recognised all the hard work and sacrifices the NHS workers have made to make sure as many people affected by the virus could have the best possible life saving care. It has never been more apparent to Wild Thang as a company that we can all make a difference.

Together we have all made a difference & while it has been an incredibly tough time for Wild Thang as a company, as it has been for many others companies, we simply wanted to make a difference as an organisation and team to do whatever we could to make sure those NHS Heroes and Key workers really know they Will Never Walk Alone!

With your help & as a team, we are incredibly proud that we have been able to make donations and deliveries to Liverpool Women’s Hospital, Clatterbridge Cancer Hospital, The Liverpool Royal Hospital, Alder Hey Hospital and Aintree Hospital. Over the past weeks we have been working with a skeleton team but we still found the time as a team to make a difference.

Our final week 3-4 report on the impact showed we never quite made that 500th T-shirt sale but we got pretty damn close with 487, thank you all again!

But it’s time to bring this project to a close as we now hopefully start getting back to some sort of normality now lock down is being eased.

It’s been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster but we have got to say the thing we are most proud of is the photo’s & videos you have shared. We have loved loved loved this more than anything else & there have been 10,000’s of shares and views across social media.

It was amazing to get Johnny Vegas and Simon Rimmer’s support also, they are genuinely nice guys but the real impact has been made by real people showing their support for the community, the NHS and especially those NHS Heroes!

Our feel good factor continues with the Museum of Liverpool purchasing some of the t-shirts to include in a curation about the impact of Covid-19 on the community.

So watch this space, they are also looking for other people’s stories - see link with contact details so you can get involved.

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

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.

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.
