Billing Metals & Manufacturing is situated in the heart of the Victorian goldfields, led by Toby Billing with his 30+ years of chemistry, manufacturing and mining experience.
About Toby
I've always been fascinated by history, gold, chemistry and mining – hence the drive to build a business that incorporates those interests and fills an important gap in the Australian market.
Over the years I've relentlessly researched, developed and mastered the knowledge and skills to supply elements, metals, minerals and more to build Billing Metals into one of the leading suppliers in Australia.
Professionally, I've held a variety of positions, which includes 10 years at Sovereign Hill Museums Association in Ballarat, performing gold pour demonstrations, mine tours, educating kids and adults on goldfields history and more. I spent several years as an irrigation specialist, installing water tanks and grey water systems, plus spent time as a landscaper. I've previously been a Director of a company that dealt in antique bottles, and have also co-founded The Rural Marketing Company and The Rural Publishing Company, alongside my wife, Sarah.
Personally, I'm married, with two fantastic kids - Oliver (12) and Sophie (9). They take a keen interest in the goings on, within the lab.
We live on a rural property, in the Victorian goldfields (near Ballarat) – with 15 horses, two mini fox terriers and a colourful selection of chooks. I'm an accomplished horse rider (show jumper), trainer and coach.
