Wild Thang’s old reception entrance will close as of 4.30pm Friday 14^th February and new development reception office will open at 8.30am on Monday the 17^th of February.

Above photograph shows old WIld Thang reception to the right and new reception to the left with access now off Bedford Place as highlighted in below diagram below.

This is an important moment for the project but we are still under development and have some quite substantial works before completing our exciting new build in full, which includes the demolition of our old office building and internal reconfiguration. This combined with the current road works taking place along Derby Road, the A565, are creating some real access problems to Wild Thang with no customer parking on site and minimal access currently for picking up larger orders, we are delivering all orders where possible to minimize the disruption to our wonderful clients. We are therefore advising that if you are visiting Wild Thang or picking up a small order then you will be better finding parking on the surrounding roads of our premises, they include Dacre Street, Ensor Street and Lodwick St, you will also have to follow diversions that are currently in place because of the road works.

We apologise in advance for any short term inconvenience that the development may create for our clients but in the long term we will be much improved to deliver the World Class product services that you have come to expect from us.

We want you to know that we genuinely appreciate all of the business that you have sent Wild Thang's way over the years and you are all an incredibly important part of Wild Thang’s story, past, present and future!

We will do our upmost to keep you informed as the project progresses but if you have any questions, queries or concerns over any of the points raised in this correspondence please do not hesitate to get in touch with any of the senior team.

See link to Google Maps so you can understand the roads mentioned and the surrounding area.

Team Wild Thang

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.

Collapsible drinks cup - not only is this a unique product it’s also compact. Next time you are in Starbucks instead of taking a disposable cup simply ask them to fill up your cup. There are quite a few coffee and tea addicts out there so it would not be unusual to have 2 to 3 cups a day and if they use one of the coffee chains that would mean 3 x 365 = 1095 per year! Now that’s a whole lot of disposable cups saved.

Branded clothing, merchandise and print experts Wild Thang Limited want to take things to the next level by creating an inspiring new office space, reconfiguring there production facility & investing in new machinery so they can continue to deliver world class service and help companies stand out from the crowd.

Andrew Dwerryhouse, Wild Thang MD, commented: “This is a big moment in the company’s history, maybe even the biggest moment ever, so we are incredibly excited to announce the major redevelopment of our premises & production over approximately the next 4 months. We have already made positive progress with ground work happening over the last 3 months with the help of a fantastic development team. It’s a long process to bring a development to fruition and you need the right team around you to deliver on this sort of scale & of course the whole journey has not been without its challenges given the complexity of the redevelopment being completed while we continue to do business day to day .

Our redevelopment & continued growth plan has in part been brought about by the council’s Better Roads programme to improve connectivity, of which the A565 Derby Road/Great Howard Street forms part. We as a company welcome the programme’s rationale to promote economic growth and regeneration, particularly here in north Liverpool. We’re confident that our redevelopment and projected future growth will be just one example of the effectiveness of improving the city’s road network, particularly along major gateways to create future prosperity for the Liverpool City Region. We started the process over 3 years ago by finding the right Architects, after talking to a number of local companies we felt that K2 Architects were a great fit for what we wanted to achieve with a good track record.

They have been with us on the journey right from the start and have guided us through the complex design process of planning to get the best possible final result. We have been really pleased and impressed with what they have delivered from concept to reality. K2 Architects have a strong creative team and have really taken the time to understand what we wanted to achieve and how our business functions at every level.

As a company we really know the importance of creating the right team internally, having seen 18%+ growth for each of the last 3 years we now want to take things to the next level so have the aspiration as a team to break into the elite top 1% of companies in our industry, aiming for 20%+ growth in the next 2 years after the development is completed. Things have really never looked more positive for Wild Thang and we are now Liverpool City Region’s biggest supplier in our sector, even after 23 years in business we are more excited than ever about the future opportunities for the company and its employees.

We genuinely believe the completed development will deliver a world class environment for our clients and colleagues that will allow us to take the business to the next World Class level which will hopefully lead to increasing our staff levels locally by approximately 25% over the next 2-3 year. The completion and launch date will be announced soon so keep your eyes peeled for further progress and exciting updates.”

Chris Dwerryhouse, Wild Thang Director commented: “It’s very exciting times at Wild Thang and having been personally overseeing the tender process what has been the most pleasing aspect of getting the development to this point is that we have managed to keep as many links to Liverpool City Region as possible, it was competitively tendered and we were over the moon when local company Frank Rogers Building Contractors were the successful candidate to win the contract. We know that Franks Rogers are a very well established local company with a reputation of delivering high quality developments and so far they are making good progress and we are confident their quality will be equal to their great reputation.

Two final pieces of the jigsaw are firstly Box Clever, who again had to be exactly the right fit, they have now taken us through the tender process and will be helping us deliver the development scheme as project managers until final handover, their advice and expertise to date has been truly invaluable. Finally our bankers Natwest have also supported us throughout the journey of the development and we are thankful for their ongoing financial support. The investment in the development of the premises, new machinery and infrastructure will be circa £2m+ over the next 12-18 months so we can truly realize our growth potential as a company. “

Dean Rogers, Frank Rogers MD “As a Liverpool firm, it’s always great to work with other pioneering local firms who are helping put the city region on the map nationally. Wild Thang is undoubtedly making waves within its sector and now, and with these new extended and upgraded facilities, they now have the space and scope to further grow and expand.”

Mark Davies, K2 Architects commented: “The new building at 331-337 Derby Road will serve as a precedent for high quality industrial design in the area and a reminder to others that industrial buildings can be colorful, compelling and engaging. The intervention aims to promote general wellbeing through sensitive, exemplary design and enhance the building’s internal/external functional operation. It works alongside Liverpool City Council’s upgrade of Derby Road; to propel the area into the next generation of smart infrastructure.”

Well this is a remarkable achievement and it’s not every day we get to work on merchandise for such a major sporting event in the world of Rugby. The world loves the underdog and some had already written off the Red Devils as being a none contender at the beginning of the season, how wrong could they be, which in some ways makes it even sweeter for the club, players and the amazing fans.

Wild Thang Director John Howarth, who helps look after the clubs requirements, commented: “There is so much to celebrate, what a year, what a club! Massive congrats from the whole Wild Thang Team on making it to the Grand Final but also to Jacko Hastings on winning the Man of Steel at the Super League Awards this week too, the guy has deserves everything that comes his way and we are excited for next season already!”

One more to go to make your dreams come true but win or lose there is so much to be proud of for all involved, Wild Thang are proud to have been played our small part as official merchandise and team kit branding partner, we are now looking forward to creating some Limited Edition Grand Final Merchandise which will be available soon on the online shop and also at the Salgood club shop at the stadium.
