The Melbourne Exhibition Centre – AKA Jeff's Shed – played host to the Melbourne Home Show last weekend. It was a wet and cold weekend in Bleak City, meaning there were plenty of visitors to Camberwell Electrics' stand, which was decked out with the latest in Beko products.

Hans Vanderstadt is a veteran of these shows, and he does a great job showcasing his retail brand to consumers while also presenting a wide range of products from brands in his store.

"The response was very positive from consumers," he told Current.com.au. "We had a huge stand and because of the bad weather, we had a lot of people coming in to stay indoors."

"No-one had really heard of the Beko brand last year, but I'm now noticing a change in consumers' awareness. They see the quality of the product and they like to touch and feel the appliances."
