Writing in the operator’s sixth integrated annual report, issued on Wednesday (22 March), chair Darrell Wade and chief executive James Thornton revealed how the biggest decision in Intrepid’s history was made around Thornton’s kitchen table in Melbourne as Covid lockdown loomed.
It was a decision, they said, that changed the course of the Melbourne-headquartered business "in ways we could not have imagined at the time". "As we write this letter in the first quarter of 2023, Intrepid has emerged [from the pandemic] in a very different shape," said Wade and Thornton. "We’re growing again, with a reinvigorated purpose, a bold new strategy and ambitious future goals."
