CAPTAIN Sir Tom Moore’s shameless daughter and her husband are owed an eye-watering sum from their own business, company accounts have revealed.

Hannah Ingram-Moore, 54, and her husband Colin, 68, were due £59,323 from their company Maytrix Group Limited in 2024, according to figures filed with Companies House.

However, this was an enormous increase from the £30,523 they were owed in 2023 – with all of this coming as the management consultancy company’s net assets plummeted from £5,385 to negative £117,880 between 2023 and 2024, reports the Daily Mail.

It is not yet clear, however, if the money has been paid out to the couple – and it could be that the £30,523 due in 2023 is still included in 2024’s figures.

Mr and Ms Ingram-Moore have found themselves embroiled in scandals ever since their involvement with Covid hero Captain Tom and the charity set up in his name.

The veteran won the nation’s hearts when he walked 100 laps of his garden to help raise money for the NHS ahead of his 100th birthday in 2020.

Raising more than £38 million for NHS Charities Together, Captain Tom was knighted by the Queen in July that year – and later published his memoir, Tomorrow Will Be A Good Day.

Despite writing in the book that there was “a chance to raise even more money for the charitable foundation now established in my name”, his new charity – the Captain Tom Foundation – was marred by scandals related to his daughter and son-in-law.

Following the veteran’s death in 2021, a charity watchdog eventually discovered “repeated failures of governance and integrity”, finding Mr and Ms Ingram-Moore had pocketed more than £1 million in the veteran’s name from links to the Captain Tom Foundation.

Perhaps the most notable peak of the scandal was when the couple put the charity’s money into the construction of an illegal £200,000 luxury spa in their garden, which was eventually ordered to be demolished.

In January, they went a step further in erasing the walking veteran’s name from the charity set up in his honour.

Since these scandals have erupted in the media, the couple have faced even more money problems.

The pair, who have been trying to sell their home, where Captain Tom achieved his famous feat, have seen its price slashed multiple times.

Despite releasing a book to try and improve incomes, Mrs Ingram-Moore’s work Grief: Public Face Private Loss was reported to have only sold around one copy a day.

Documents from Companies House also show that the amount of money the Ingram-Moores owe to creditors increased by more than £80,000 in one year for Maytrix Group Ltd.

In that same time frame, the amount of money held in fixed assets crashed by more than £60,000.

On top of this, the cash owed by debtors and held at a bank or in hand increased by less than £20,000.

This could indicate that the money the couple are owed from the company is unlikely to be paid out, due to the debts.

The Ingram-Moores are the sole directors of the company, which cut down its employees from five to two between 2023 and 2024.

Government documents also showed last year that Maytrix Group claimed up to £100,000 in furlough money over a 10-month period.

How Captain Sir Tom Moore rose to fame & his daughter’s controversies

March 2020 – D-Day veteran Captain Tom Moore walks 100 laps around his Bedfordshire garden before his 100th birthday, raising £30million for the NHS during the first lockdown.
April 2020 – Captain Tom reaches No. 1 in the charts with his cover of ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’. He receives 100,000 cards for his 100th birthday, which is marked with a Battle of Britain flypast. A train is named after him.
July 2020 – Captain Tom is knighted by the Queen in a special private ceremony at Windsor Castle.
September 2020 – Hannah Ingram-Moore launches the Captain Tom Foundation to combat loneliness.
December 2020 – Drones swarm into the shape of Captain Tom’s face at the New Year’s Eve firework display in London.
February 2021 – Captain Sir Tom Moore dies after catching covid-19.
February 2022 – The Charity Commission launches a probe into the Captain Tom foundation after it paid £50,000 to companies run by Hannah Ingram-Moore and her husband Colin.
July 2023 – The foundation stops accepting donations. Planning chiefs order Hannah to tear down an unauthorised spa at her Bedfordshire home. The building had been approved to be used “in connection with the Captain Tom Foundation and its charitable objectives”. But a larger building with a spa pool was built instead and was denied retrospective planning permission. Hannah appeals.
September 2023 – accounts reveal Hannah received more than £70,000 to head the foundation.
October 2023 – Hannah loses her appeal and is ordered to demolish the spa and restore the garden to its original condition.
January 2024 – Demolition work begins.
November 2024 – Probe finds family “repeatedly benefitted” from “mismanaged” foundation.
January 2025 – Her business Club Nook collapses with just £149 in assets compared to £336,300 a year prior. The foundation’s website also disappears.

And, despite making hefty profits during the pandemic, the company also took out £47,500 in Covid loans.

It was also revealed last August that Ms Ingram-Moore was paid “thousands of pounds” through her family company for appearances linked to the charity set up in her father’s name.

She reportedly attended and judged award ceremonies in both 2021 and 2022 as interim chief executive of the Captain Tom Foundation.

However, payments for these appearances were made to the Maytrix Group.

At the time, the BBC claimed she had received the hefty payments on behalf of Maytrix for attending the Virgin Media O2 Captain Tom Foundation Connector Awards – despite promotional videos suggesting she was representing the charity.

During this time, she was understood to be on a salary of £85,000 as the charity’s interim chief executive.

Accounts from the Captain Tom Moore Foundation also reveal that Maytrix made a large profit from expenses it charged to the charity.

The company was given back £37,942 in reimbursements, according to foundation accounts.

This included £5,030 for “website costs”, £4,500 for “office rental”, £656 for “phone costs”, and a whopping £27,205 for “third-party consultancy costs”.

The Ingram-Moores, however, said that the charity incurred costs were initially funded by Maytrix Group, before then being reimbursed when “sufficient funds were available.”

They also said that all spending was “correctly authorised by the independent trustees”.

The Charity Commission also said in 2022 that it was satisfied the payments were “reasonable reimbursement” for expenses incurred by the companies in the formation of the charity.

INGRAM-MOORES BENEFITED ‘SIGNIFICANTLY’

In a TV interview in March, Ms Ingram-Moore claimed she “did nothing wrong” after denying she pocketed £1.5 million meant for the family’s charity.

It followed a Charity Commission report which found Mr and Ms Ingram-Moore benefited “significantly” through association to the foundation.

The watchdog found there were misleading suggestions the proceeds from a £1.5 million book deal would be made to the charity.

This included Captain Tom’s autobiography Tomorrow Will Be A Good Day.

It also said the couple had twice been invited to “rectify matters” by donating money to the charity “in line with their original intentions as understood by those involved” but had “declined to do so”.

The Charity Commission however confirmed at the conclusion of its inquiry on 21 November 2024 that there was no criminal wrong-doing by the family.

Director of Policy at the Charity Commission Paul Latham told LBC at the time of the report’s publication that no evidence of criminal activity was discovered.

He said: “No, we have found no evidence of a crime. What we have found is that there was misconduct and or mismanagement in how the charity was run.”

The Ingram-Moores also said that the family “never had any access” to the charity’s bank account, saying all payments from the charity were made by independent trustees.

They added that there was a “majority” of independent trustees on the board of the charity “at all times”.
