Wild Thang Creates A Little Bit Of History!

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.

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.

Huge thank you to everyone who has made sure those NHS heroes Never Walked Alone!

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.

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.

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

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.

Wild Thang wanted to make a difference in the fight against Covid-19!
Wild Thang wanted to make a difference in the fight against Covid-19!

As a company we have followed all the government guidelines to promote best practice for anything related to covid-19 and the corona virus so we can help protect the most vulnerable, it’s been one of the toughest times in our 24 year history.

We wanted to do more and make a difference which started by creating social distancing t-shirts as our last job for our amazing team, this was to raise awareness of social distancing before some of the team started to work remotely from home. The feedback from our friends and family was awesome and they loved the design, but still we wanted to do more.

 

Recently we have delivered a large consignment of clothing - 28 large bags of t-shirts, hoodies and bottoms to be precise, over to Clatterbridge Cancer Centre, this was after hearing they were in desperate need of clothing for frontline staff working tirelessly for the patients with covid-19, this was an attempt to reduce infection when they to travel to and from work in their own clothes before changing into their uniforms/scrubs once inside the building, after this we donated branded tote bags to the guys at Liverpool Women’s Hospital.

 

Currently taking pride of place at WT HQ is a banner with our support message to all the key workers during this difficult time.

We have a saying here - ‘It’s the Wild Thang Way’, so we wanted to do more. 

 

The staff social distancing t-shirts and garments we donated got us all thinking how else can we make a difference and that’s when we came up with another idea, so all 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 designed a range of limited edition t-shirts with a simple concept, if someone purchases a t-shirt to show their appreciation to those NHS heroes Wild Thang will either donate 50% of the purchase price to NHS charities Charity No 1186569 or send a t-shirt to the NHS frontline staff, because we knew first-hand they urgently need extra clothing.

 

We then shared our idea on social media and the feedback was amazing, lots of people thought it was an awesome idea and loved the designs. So the next step was to shortlist the most popular designs and create a web shop, they will be available to purchase soon, we will share the news via our social media channels when they go live!

 

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 as 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!’

For now, stay home, protect the NHS and save lives.
