Wild Thang was delighted to announce sponsoring the first-ever Good Small Business Awards held in the UK. The event was held on March 22nd, 2023, at the magnificent Hilton Hotel Liverpool and it was a night to remember. The Good Small Business Awards is a new innovative event which is the first of its kind to take place in the UK, to highlight the most innovative and sustainable SMEs in the UK that are committed to ‘Progress Not Perfection’.
They believed this innovative event was the perfect moment and platform to officially announce Wild Thang’s long term sustainability pledge in the best possible company of organisations that contribute positively to their communities and support long-term sustainability goals.
Wild Thang chose to sponsor the ‘Retail & Wholesale Champion Award’, which was an incredibly special moment for our MD Andrew Dwerryhouse to present the winners award on the evening to The Refill Shop of Ikigai.
Andrew Dwerryhouse Wild Thang MD commented:
“This was an incredibly special moment to announce our sustainability pledge at The Good Small Business Awards ceremony and celebrate all the winners, finalists & event sponsors that are committed to creating a better future. We chose this innovative event as the perfect moment and platform to officially announce our own long term sustainability pledge.”
“For a significant number of years Wild Thang has already shown its commitment to sustainability with a CLEAR ETHICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL GREEN TRADING POLICY, as a member of SEDEX and holding ISO14001 environmental certification since 2015. We now need to go even further to help create a more long-term sustainable future for the planet and people living on it, which is exactly why we have created this pledge.”
“The icing on the cake was to have produced the eco-friendly awards themselves for the finalists & winners, keeping our pledge promise to offer sustainable product alternatives wherever possible.”
