The story
NRW Holdings was established in 1994 in Kalgoorlie by Jeff McGlinn and John Silverthorne with its first contract at the Granny Smith Gold Mine. Over the next few years it expanded, gaining further contracts at other gold and iron-ore mines in Western Australia including multiple contracts in the Pilbara for BHP, Fortescue and Rio Tinto. In 1998 it founded a transport division.
In 2007, NRW began its first overseas contract at the Simandou mine in Guinea and was listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. In 2011, it commenced its first coal contract in Queensland. In 2016, a NRW / Salini Impregilo joint venture was awarded the contract to build the Airport railway line in Perth.
