Graham Shurek Morris (Companies House date of birth January 1939; officer ID 2VPXxlvjxrkc0vhF0l3uRRAFAMw; 32 appointments) is a British solicitor and director. He married Ruth Schreiber (GRO 1943, daughter of Chaim Samuel Schreiber and Sara Weinstock), Marylebone, 1964 Q2, vol. 5D p. 638. That makes him brother-in-law of David Abraham Schreiber and Judith Roth, and son-in-law of Sara. He is not Chaim / “Morris” the furniture founder.[1][2]
Contact used for the family trust is graham@schreibers.com (9 Fernleigh Court, Wembley HA9 8PW).[3]
Family companies
With Ruth (CH January 1943) he directs Shurek Morris & Co. Limited (00238538, from 1929; occupation on older cards: solicitor) and property vehicles including Parkholme Properties Limited, Rinda Investments Limited, Pathwood Investments Limited. He was also a director of Schreiber Holdings Limited, Schreiber (Bristol) Limited and Schreiber (Marlborough House) Limited — furniture-family leftovers, not the Stamford Hill Midos Group.[1]

Friends of Nahalat Moshe
Graham Morris is a trustee of Friends of Nahalat Moshe, a UK registered charity (no.327229) which provides support to the Nahalat Moshe yeshiva in Jerusalem.[6] The yeshiva is located in the illegal settlement of Ramot in occupied East Jerusalem.[7] [8]
Simon Wiesentahl Centre
On the 10th of March 2015 Morris was present at an event held by the neoconservative think tank, the Henry Jackson Society. The event was titled ‘Hamas: Antisemitic Ideology, Terrorist Action, Political Spoiler.’ Morris was present as part of a delegation from the Simon Wiesenthal Center (Morris is Chairman of the Simon Wiesenthal Centre in the United Kingdom). Speakers at the event included Dr. Matthias Kuntzel of the Vidal Sassoon International Centre for the Study of Antisemitism at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem; Professor Meir Litvak of the Department of Middle Eastern History and Director of the Alliance Center for Iranian Studies, Tel Aviv University; Tom Wilson of the Henry Jackson Society and Dr. Shimon Samuels, Director for International Relations, Simon Wiesenthal Center. The event was chaired by Michael McCann MP. [9]
Overlap with the Freshwaters
The shared board is Sassov Beis Hamedrash. Benzion Freshwater and Solomon Freshwater are recorded as trustees of that congregation on the Raphael Freshwater Memorial Association (313890) card, alongside their Mayfair / Daejan stack. Graham Morris is a Sassov trustee from the Schreiber/Morris side. That is a board overlap, not proof that the Schreiber furniture fortune and the Freshwater property fortune are one group.[10][4]
Sassov Beis Hamedrash (1102303)
Seven trustees on the Commission card.[11]
That is the Freshwater overlap: Benzion Freshwater and Solomon Freshwater (Daejan / Mayfair / Raphael Freshwater Memorial Association) share Sassov with Graham. It is a synagogue board, not a merger of the furniture trust with Daejan.
Investream Charitable Trust is Morris-family (Graham + Mark Shurek Morris), not a Freshwater charity.
