Overview

Gambling Connection: I. LEWIS (COMMISSION AGENTS) LIMITED held a UKGC gambling operator licence, first issued in February 2022, which has since been surrendered following the company's dissolution. It's in the Saferwager database as a formerly licensed UK gambling operator.

I. LEWIS (COMMISSION AGENTS) LIMITED was incorporated on 4 July 1953, giving it over 70 years of corporate history before its dissolution. Despite that long run, the company has since been dissolved and its UKGC operator licence surrendered, meaning it no longer carries out any regulated gambling activity.

The company carries a D grade with a score of 53 out of 100. The dissolved status wipes out its status score entirely, and its compliance score also registers zero, reflecting the absence of any current regulatory standing. The age score is the one area where the company's long incorporation history counts in its favour.

None of the current directors are UK-resident, which is a factor in the lower governance marks. The company was originally a family-run commission agents business but changed hands, coming under new ownership in 2023 before ultimately being dissolved.

Governance

The company listed two current directors at the time of dissolution, both Irish nationals residing outside the UK. Prior directors were British, suggesting the company changed character significantly when ownership transferred to a larger corporate group in early 2023.
