Energy-saving benefits and sustainability will help to drive sales of home appliances, as consumers are looking to buy more efficient products due to an uncertain economic climate, according to Retra associate member BSH. Speaking at the Retra Conference last
month, Gunjan Srivastava, CEO of BSH UK & Ireland, said: “We expect the consumer to focus on energy – messages and products that are in the areas of saving and sustainability are likely to be stronger and better consumed.” He added: “For a brand like us – and all of the industry – it’s a great opportunity to focus on as a differentiator.” Mr Srivastava said that due to a drop in consumer confidence, some shoppers were putting off buying big-ticket items, such as
premium home appliances. According to a BSH consumer survey, more
than half of respondents said they would be more price-driven when buying appliances, rather than choosing products based on brand or features. “For someone like us, that is obviously a
hard message – we have to really focus – but what’s positive is that a large percentage of people – more than 40 percent – still believe that quality and reliability are still going to be at the centre when they’re deciding to buy appliances for the home,” he said. Talking about ongoing supply issues
caused by Covid and logistics problems, Mr Srivastava, said: “We are still grappling with them and they don’t seem to going away anytime soon.”
BSH appoints new channel director for retail

Mr English is well known in the appliance and kitchen industry, having spent 20 years holding a variety of positions at BSH. Since 2014, he has become a familiar face to appliance retailers as independent retail director. Commenting on his new
role, he said: “I’m excited to be taking on the channel director, retail division position. The last two years have been a huge challenge
News
for the industry, and as we enter the post- Covid era, the team and I look forward to working closely with our retail partners to ensure continued success in the years ahead.”
Gunjan Srivastava,
chief executive, BSH UK & Ireland commented: “I’m delighted to be able to announce that Shaun English is our new channel director, retail division. Having worked at BSH for 20 years, he
