Alongside this, he set up Stylus, a music and video production project for disadvantaged youths, but after a fire at his home, most work and equipment were lost. At this point Lewis decided to change tact, working in purchasing and logistics at Footlocker's head office in Holland. Returning to the UK Lewis began work at Jigsaw, established relationships with major manufacturers such as AJA, Blackmagic, Canon, Fujinon, JVC, Manfrotto, Portabrace, Panasonic, Sony and Steadicam.
