John Lewis no longer sells the Sebo 8300ER Filterbox Airbelt E Ultra Bags..
Welcome to Manchester, Justin.. Justin: Thank you for inviting me, Stuart.It’s a pleasure to be here.. MV: Very nice to see you.
So we thought we’d ask Justin a few questions today.Just for anybody who doesn’t know a great deal about Sebo, perhaps you’ll get a little bit of interesting background from it..So what I wanted to ask you first, we know anybody who’s researched Sebo or looked into the brand knows it was started in 1978, in Germany by two gentlemen called Klaus [Stein] and Heinz [Kaulig]..
But Sebo UK, I believe, is a second-generation business that was started by your dad.. Justin: Correct, yes.. MV: So could you tell us maybe the journey of how he came to meet the German guys, and how Sebo UK came to pass; the timeline perhaps of the story?.Justin: Well, my Father used to work for a company that sold industrial vacuum cleaners.
He was the machine marketing manager, and he met Mr Stein in Germany when Mr Stein worked for Vorwerk and was one of the chief designers at.
, a German vacuum cleaner and carpet company.. Vorwerk set Mr Stein on developing a proper commercial upright vacuum cleaner and Mr Stein had lots of really good ideas for this machine, one of which was having a hose on an upright vacuum cleaner which no one else had done before.No product placement.
Sebo is a public secret.And here you are.. Cheap vacuums tend to lack the features and accessories that make cleaning easier.
For example, they may not have powerful suction or a dustbin or bag that can be easily emptied.As a result, users quickly become frustrated with their poor performance and end up buying a replacement again and again.
