The awards are considered Australia’s most prestigious business awards event, recognising the exceptional contribution made by the CEOs, managing directors, and senior management who drive Australia’s leading organisations in a range of sectors.

“I’m equally humbled to accept the award as I am to lead Intrepid Group,” Thornton said.

“We are finishing off a spectacular year of growth and significant milestones; having become Australia’s largest certified B Corp, and largest travel company in the world to achieve the rigorous certification. Our growth, coupled with our purpose beyond profit, means that as a business, we can be an even greater force for good.”
