Swiss appliance brand V-Zug has named Camberwell Electrics its Australian Retail Partner of the Year for 2012. This award was presented to joint directors Hans Vanderstadt and Graeme Hawkesford from Camberwell Electrics at V-Zug’s annual conference on the Gold Coast earlier this month.
“It was very exciting to win the award and we’re very pleased,” Vanderstadt told Current.com.au. “We were half-expecting to win the Victoria/Tasmania award, but when we won the national award, we were gobsmacked. The whole team is pleased and proud.”

Vanderstadt described the V-Zug brand as “exceptionally high quality”. He said Camberwell Electrics, which is a member of the Narta Group, won the award because it has invested in cooking demonstrations to showcase the features of the range.
“We hold several cooking demonstrations every week in our store. These typically last over an hour so we can show people the features and how it works and why it’s good.”
