Growing up on a 35000 ha sheep and cattle station in south western Queensland, livestock auctions were a regular part of Tonys life. Starting his career in agriculture as a consultant and seed and grain trader he now has over 25 years experience in sales management, marketing and general management positions including being employed as a consultant in countries such as China and Malaysia. Along with his wife and business partner Cheryl, he has also owned and operated two successful businesses, but his appreciation of Auctioneering and his desire to be involved in Real Estate lead to the establishment of Illing & Associates Auctioneers & Trainers.
