Company run by scandal-hit Captain Tom’s daughter ‘goes into the red’ – debt reports come days after family ‘listed £2.25m mansion off of public attention” after the spa saga

A company run by the daughter of Captain Tom Moore, affected by the scandal, has fallen into the red.

Hannah Ingram-Moore’s consultancy Whitaker Global Limited has fallen £7,702 into debt in the year to the end of January this year, according to accounts it filed at Companies House.

The business, which Mrs Ingram-Moore, 53, joined in 2016, taking over from her hero father, made a profit of £16,460 in the same 12-month period last year, it report The Mirror.

Set up with Captain Tom as a director in 2015, it was originally called Ibrutum Ltd, and although it applied for dissolution in 2019, it was wound up just 20 days later.

It says it offers “management consulting activities other than financial management.”

Hannah Ingram-Moore’s consultancy, Whitaker Global Limited, has plummeted by £7,702 in debt in the year to the end of January this year, according to accounts it filed at Companies House.

The business, which Mrs Ingram-Moore, 53, joined in 2016, taking over from her hero father, made a profit of £16,460 in the same 12-month period last year.

It comes after the family moved Sir Tom’s £2.25 million mansion to a low-key private listing to keep it “out of the public eye”.

The daughter of the Covid hero and her husband Colin, 67, put the seven-bedroom Bedfordshire property up for sale in April, just months after they were forced to demolish an unauthorized spa block.

However, potential buyers will need to make inquiries about the Grade II listed home directly with the estate agent after it has been removed from the agent’s website.

Describing what a discreet listing means, Fine & Country, who marketed the home, said: “An off-market property, also called a discreet listing, is where a seller does not want the name or address of the make your property visible on portals, such as Rightmove, on social media, through digital advertising, in high street agency windows, on paper or with a ‘for sale’ board.’

The sale follows a series of scandals surrounding Captain Tom’s daughter, which culminated in the £200,000 spa resort being demolished in February this year.

The history of the house was promoted in a brochure, which stated that “the property is owned by the family of Captain Sir Tom Moore, who spent his last years there raising money for the NHS during the Covid pandemic” .

He continues: “A particularly special memory of our time here is my dad walking 100 laps of the garden to raise a record sum of almost £40m for NHS charities during the pandemic.”

Sir Tom was made an honorary colonel and later knighted by the Queen (pictured in 2020) at Windsor Castle, after completing 100 laps of her garden for charity.

The listing featured a photo of the mansion’s hallway, where a statue of Captain Tom doing one of his daily rounds of the garden which raised £38m for NHS charities takes pride of place.

In August 2021, the Ingram-Moores received permission for a Captain Tom Foundation building on the grounds of their home to support their charitable aims.

The extension was called the Captain Tom Building on the plans, but it soon became apparent that the structure that took shape bore little resemblance to the one that had been sanctioned.

Following complaints from local residents, a site visit was carried out in March 2022, but the planning officer reported that “the windows were boarded up and access to the interior of the building was not possible”.

Central Bedfordshire Council refused a subsequent retrospective application in 2022 for a larger C-shaped building containing a hydromassage pool.

The council insisted the C-shaped building, which was built over a tennis court, was 49 per cent bigger than what had been approved and must be demolished.

Demolition work was carried out on February 7, after the family lost an appeal to keep the complex after a planning inspector ruled it was “inconsistent” with their Grade II-listed home.

Before it was demolished, the Ingram-Moores were seen packing up Sir Tom’s legacy in boxes with photos of the war hero at Windsor Castle and his Sports Personality of the Year and Guinness World Record awards removed from the complex .

Ms Ingram Moore also faced an investigation into payments made through her family business for appearances linked to her late father’s charity in August 2023.

She reportedly attended and judged awards ceremonies in 2021 and 2022 as interim chief executive of the Captain Tom Foundation, but received payments for appearances from her company, Maytrix Group.

The BBC claims Maytrix was paid thousands of pounds to attend the Virgin Media O2 Captain Tom Foundation Connector Awards, despite promotional videos suggesting she was representing the charity.

The Charity Commission began investigating possible conflicts of interest between Ingram-Moore’s private companies and the charity in November 2022. At the time, the family did not respond to the claims.

In an interview with Piers Morgan on TalkTV in October 2023, Mrs Ingram Moore admitted to keeping £800,000 from books written by the late army veteran.

He said the family kept the sum of three books because Captain Tom had wanted them to keep the profits.

Second World War veteran Captain Tom was knighted by the late Queen for walking 100 laps of the house’s garden during the Covid pandemic in 2020, raising £38m for NHS charities.

He died on February 2, 2021, aged 100, and Buckingham Palace announced that the Queen had sent the family a “private message of condolences”.

The family home for sale has four bathrooms, four reception rooms and is set in 3.5 acres with a detached carriage house.
