Michael Lewis is a director of the South African retailer Foschini Ltd. He is also the founder of the Israeli biotech company ProChon Biotech Limited.[1]

In October 2005, Defence Secretary Liam Fox flew to the United States with five newly elected MPs - Mark Harper; John Penrose; Brooks Newmark; Adam Holloway; and Philip Dunne. In the register of members interests, all of the MPs said their flights and accomodation had been for using a donation from Michael Lewis.[2]

Lewis was on the board of directors of Britain Israel Communications and Research Centre (BICOM) between 6 Sept 2006 - 3 Dec 2007 and served as Vice Chairman until 2007, after which point 'he has had no involvement in the organisation, save as a donor', according to a clarification published in the Guardian.[3]

Lewis arranged a 2009 trip to Israel by Adam Werritty.[4]

Lewis has donated £13,832 to Liam Fox's defunct Atlantic Bridge charity.[5]
