In the final part of our three piece interview with Exeter branch manager Lewis Rossiter, we discuss his brush with mainstream television, the future and his personal interest in independent film making. There’s more to this gentleman than meets the eye!

Back in April you were the highlight of BBC production ‘Under Offer Estate Agents on the Job’ – I’m sure you remember. How has the aftermath of that effected the way yourself and your team work in Exeter?

“Well it’s been very overwhelming and jarring going through it. The biggest surprise is nearly every single day someone will reference it and I thought by this time it would have been forgotten. I guess I’m always going to be that agent who was on TV. From a purely business standpoint it has been fantastic for us because our instruction levels are higher than last year and the year before. That was one of the main reasons for doing the show; to promote how hard we work and to hopefully get that across to the public and it has been phenomenal advertising for Bradleys.”

Well you went on to win Bradleys Manager of the Year after the end of the series, is that right?

“Yes that’s right. We strive for recognition in this job and we all want to be loved. To win Employee of the Year and then Manager of the Year in my first two years with the company is something I will always be very proud of.”

Knowing that happened would you be willing to approach a second series should the opportunity arise?

“I’ve always said I would be open to it having experienced the success off of the back of the first series. However, I do not think there will be a second series because I think it told the story of the property market across the UK. The show had solid ratings 2 million viewers a week, which incidentally is a lot higher than the new Sarah Beeny property show on Channel 4!

A personal insight into yourself – you say you like independent film making. Are you working on anything at the moment that people could maybe look out for?

“It’s all about finding the time. There is a group of us from our University days working at the Odeon Cinema in Cheltenham. We all lead busy lives, one of my friends is a Journalist for ITV, the other is a Scientist working on 3rd generation DNA coding and lastly my Actor friend lives in Ireland currently. So trying to get a week to meet up is always tough. We filmed a Web Series a few years ago which was selected for the Los Angeles Web Festival, so we are always talking about the “next” project. It could be another web series, short film or maybe even a feature film, but would definitely like to film something within the next year.”
