Fortescue Metals Group has leased a modern office warehouse
near Perth Airport.
The Western Australia based iron ore producer has committed to the 1670 square metre facility, 9 Longfellow Court, Belmont, for five years.
The address is off Abernethy Road, six kilometres west of Perth Airport and industrial precincts at Kewdale and Welshpool.
Belmont is seven kilometres east of Perth’s CBD.
About 95 per cent of Fortescue Metals’ 10,000-strong workforce is based in Western Australia.
Last week Chairman and substantial shareholder Andrew ‘Twiggy’ Forrest was one of about 20 bidders said to be competing for Virgin Australia which recently went into voluntary administration $7 billion in debt.
