Captain Sir Tom Moore’s daughter and son-in-law, disgraced for their misconduct in handling the charitable foundation set up in their father’s name, have seen debts rise at their company.
Hannah Ingram-Moore, 54, and her husband Colin, 68, are owed £59,323 from Maytrix Group Limited in 2024, according to the latest figures on Companies House.
This has increased from the £30,523 they were due from the management consultancy firm in 2023. The company’s net assets have also now plummeted from £5,385 to -£117,880 in the same period.

The family of the renowned pandemic fundraiser, who made international headlines when he raised millions of pounds by walking 100 lengths of his garden in the run-up to his 100th birthday during the first Covid lockdown in 2020, has been embroiled in scandal due to the misuse of the funds via the Captain Tom Foundation. Captain Sir Tom died in February 2021.
A damning report by the charities watchdog concluded there had been repeated instances of misconduct by the veteran’s daughter and her husband.
But separately, a £1.4 million book deal and an £18,000 awards ceremony appearance fee were among the financial benefits Mr and Ms Ingram-Moore enjoyed through their family links to the Captain Tom Foundation.
The Charity Commission found a “repeated pattern of behaviour” which saw the pair make private gains and which the watchdog said will have left the public feeling “misled”.

The couple were also accused of using the foundation’s name as a reason to build a pool and spa complex at their home, before Central Bedfordshire Council ordered its demolition on planning grounds.
Mr and Ms Ingram-Moore were disqualified in June 2024 from serving as charity trustees for the foundation for ten and eight years respectively, a decision they did not appeal.
When her fundraising father Captain Sir Tom hit the headlines for his pandemic efforts, his daughter Ms Ingram-Moore was never far from the spotlight.
But before that, she was “one of Britain’s leading businesswomen”, according to her official website.
Alongside her chartered accountant husband, Ms Ingram-Moore co-founded Maytrix. Both are also co-directors of the private limited company Club Nook.

Ms Ingram-Moore accompanied her father to the regal surrounds of Windsor Castle in the summer of 2020 to see him knighted, and took a seat in the Royal Box at Wimbledon months after he died in 2021, where she stood to applause and cheers.
But just three years later, she and her husband had been banned by the Charity Commission from being charity trustees.
Ms Ingram-Moore said the commission’s inquiry was a “harrowing and debilitating ordeal” which had left the family feeling suspended in “constant fear and mental anguish”.
On her website, Ms Ingram-Moore described how she feels a “weight of responsibility for doing the right thing, for not letting people down and responding to the love and compassion that has come our way”.
When contacted by The Independent regarding Maytrix’s latest accounts, the Ingram-Moore family stressed that the Charity Commission’s investigation found no criminal wrongdoing by the family. They added that the family raised a record-breaking £38m for separate charity NHS Charities Together prior to the formation of the Captain Tom Foundation, and this formed no part of the inquiry.
