Andrew Dwerryhouse Managing Director commented:

“Reaching these 30 years in business is an incredible milestone but the celebration had to be much more than an anniversary party. I am hugely proud personally, as founder, to have the ability to deliver this inaugural ESG, Product & Tech Revolution Expo as part of our special celebrations. But I will be the first to say it is all only been made possible as a family business and because of the amazing team we have in place. It has been a Wild journey from what started as a micro business supported by the Prince’s Trust (now the King’s Trust), has grown into an industry leading business serving organisations across the UK and internationally as there trusted branding partner.

All centred around a core purpose of positive values, ethics and our Wild Thang Way ethos which has never changed. We believe this expo event is the first of its kind in our industry, so it is about much more than celebrating the past. It is about building a special expert eco-system by bringing people together to explore how we can do things better in the future through creativity, sustainability and technology and showcase how businesses can become a true force for good and make a genuine measurable ESG difference.

We are now one of the most sustainable and certified in our sector and now support our clients to mitigate their own supply chain risks, on the day as a proud B Corp hopefully, we can give you some real insights into our own unique ESG journey and answer that all-important simply question, Why trust Wild Thang?”
