A picture says a thousand words ….. and the key word for INTREC is AGILITY. Our 2020 Vision has come
together this year through not only the projects we have delivered, but the way we have delivered them.
INTREC is a company that has the rare ability to grow and change at the same time and this year’s Annual
demonstrates INTREC’s capability in both scale and complexity.
We live in an incredible time of change, where technology is moving at a rate never witnessed before,
businesses must adapt through new technologies and the search for innovation. For INTREC, change is the
stimulus that excites our business and drives us forward into new spaces and opportunities.
As a leader of the business I challenge our team to remain agile and embrace a new way forward through
partnerships and collaboration.
Thank you to all that have contributed to a year of INTREC.
