Consumer Power Sees Sydney Bullion Company Scoop International Award

SYDNEY, Feb 9, 2016 - After a three-month open public vote in which over 22,000 votes were cast across five countries, Sydney-based ABC Bullion have scooped a top industry prize after a decisive win saw them take 25 percent of the Australian vote.

In a two-heat open vote, ABC progressed from an initial selection of 20 shortlisted Australian bullion companies, achieving a place in the top-five final nominations before going on to take the title, with 790 votes from 3160.

Global bullion exchange Bullion Capital was narrowly beaten to second place.

On winning the award, Katherine Robinson, Pallion Group Marketing Manager said, “We are incredibly proud to have won Bullion Dealer of the Year 2016, and we would like to thank our wonderful clients who’ve been trading and storing gold with us since 1972. This award completes a busy 12 months for ABC Bullion, which also included ABC Refinery’s appointment to the London Bullion Market Association’s (LBMA) Good Delivery list for gold.”

The annual awards are run by UK-based specialist directory and consumer ratings website Bullion.Directory, which opened an Australian section in January 2015 - a response to Australia's growing global dominance in precious metals refining.

Alan Macallister, Managing Director at Bullion.Directory said of ABC Bullion, “This win was well deserved and a clear recognition of ABC Bullion's outstanding work in the precious metals industry, both locally and internationally.”
