CEO’s Christmas Message
It’s mid-December already! The Christmas decorations are up, stores are brimming with Christmas fare and, as always, our team are making sure everyone else has a wonderful Christmas.
Supermarkets and service stations are such an essential service, always there when people need us, contributing to their quality of life and special occasions.
But services are delivered by people, not stores. As we head towards the end of another year, I want to thank all IRAM team for their continued dedication, hard work and professionalism throughout 2023.

Tennant Creek celebrate the grand opening of its new IGA supermarket on 16 March after an extensive reconstruction and fit-out of the old site.
