BullionByPost (and the wider Jewellery Quarter Bullion Ltd behind it) has made it into the Sunday
Times/HSBC International Track 200; a league table of the top performing companies in the

Daily Express: Reserves worth £14 BILLION more today

The Daily Express newspaper, with the help of an article written last May by BullionByPost,
has today published an article about the historic sale of British gold bullion reserves by former
Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

The article centres around Brown's memorable gold sale in the early 2000s; a controversial
sale that was scuppered at the time by Parliament's necessity to be informed of such a move.
The lawful and democratic requirement to confirm the sale resulted in the market value of gold
dropping, in anticipation of such large quantities being sold - a point many believe the government
should have been more aware of.

In hindsight, the Prime Minister got the best value he could have for the gold at the time, with
the price of gold continuing to fall for the next few years. The financial crisis in 2008 has since
led to a steady rise in both gold's demand and its value for the past 12 years however, making
the sale a short-term benefit at best.

Wall Street Journal: Britons watch their pockets, portfolios ahead of Brexit vote

As the fall in sterling prompts a rush to exchange pounds, some dump U.K. equities and buy
gold. Polls were pointing to a U.K vote to leave the European Union and the pound was falling.
As the June 23 vote loomed, some Britons wanted to buy other currencies in case a vote for a
so-called Brexit caused sterling to plunge further.

The price of gold is up by 22% this year-to-date, with global concern over the British referendum
being one of the factors cited, analysts say. While that buying will have been driven by global
investors and Asian consumers, Brits have also been stocking up on gold.

Bullion By Post, the UK’s largest online bullion dealer, said it was expecting June to be its busiest
month ever on the back of Brexit-linked uncertainty, peaking at the end of next week.

silver from the UK’s leading online bullion dealer, BullionByPost, “We have two customers buying
silver; one for long term investments – people who are tucking something away for decades
mostly who don’t intend to sell it anytime soon – and the people buying it for gifts. Coins and

Striking Gold: Rob Halliday-Stein Striking Gold - Rob Halliday-Stein

In a downturn, strong, fast-growth businesses are like gold dust: we need them if our economy is to grow and thrive. Birmingham's BullionByPost is well and truly a child of the recession.

brands, hit the runners.

And then, every once in a while, a business emerges triumphant, like a phoenix rising from the ashes of
our once-thriving economy. BullionByPost is one such firm. The founder of the Birmingham-based
business, Rob Halliday-Stein, struck gold when he realised that the banking industry had gone to the
dogs and people were looking for other ways and means to invest their cash.

The Sunday Times: How I made it - Rob Halliday-Stein, Founder of BullionByPost

As he waited outside the office of a London bullion dealer, Rob Halliday-Stein had his big idea.

Four years ago, after his mother died, he had travelled from Birmingham to find out how he could turn
his inheritance into something he could keep hold of — GOLD.

The banking crisis was raging, and waiting with him were others wanting the safety of gold rather
than money in a bank that might go bust. All were happy to pay a 5% fee for the metal. Halliday-Stein
thought he could do it better — and cheaper.

In November 2008, he set up BullionByPost, an online gold and silver dealer. The business, which
buys bullion from traditional dealers and delivers it to customers the next day, has gone from sales of
£6m and a profit of £20,000 in its first year to a profit of £1.5m last year on sales of £55m. It is based
in Birmingham and has 12 staff.

The company has handled more than 35,000 deliveries in Britain, from a £30 silver coin to a £500,000
gold shipment. The average order is worth about £3,000.

is another industry quietly making a mint off the back of the new gold rush: bullion traders.

The Sunday Telegraph: Real Wealth in Your Hands

Protecting your portfolio with physical gold could be the ultimate insurance for turbulent times:

“In uncertain times, physical gold offers about as much certainty as you can get.” - BullionByPost's
Rob Halliday-Stein.

The expectation of an imminent world banking collapse may be a minority view, but it is increasingly
held. On a national scale it has happened many times before, for example, in Germany, Russia and
Argentina. For private investors it poses the oldest question in the world – where is their money
really safe? And growing numbers are choosing the oldest answer: physical gold.

The Sunday Times: The best financial gifts to buy children this Christmas

Sales of gold coins are up 50% compared with the pre-Christmas period last year as investors
seek 'safe haven' gifts for children

Sales of gold coins in the past three months are up 50% compared with the pre-Christmas period
last year and sales of silver coins have doubled as investors seek “safe haven” gifts for children.

The price of precious metals has soared as investors have sought “hard” assets during market
uncertainty, and many predict it will rise further. Myles Zyblock at RBC Capital Markets, the investment
bank, said gold could rise to $3,800 (£2,435) an ounce within three years. It was about $1,370
(£874) an ounce last week — a 25% rise since the start of the year.

Simon James at MoneySuperMarket, the comparison website, said: “With households having to
tighten belts, a gift that also offers some financial benefit is likely to be well received this Christmas.”
