A firm run by the scandal-hit daughter of Sir Captain Tom Moore has fallen into the red.

Hannah Ingram-Moores consultancy company Whitaker Global Limited has plummeted £7,702 into debt in the year to the end of January this year, according to accounts she filed to Companies House. 

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

Set up with Captain Tom as director in 2015, it was originally called Ibrutum Ltd, and although it applied to be dissolved in 2019 this was discontinued just 20 days later. 

It is said to provide management consultancy activities other than financial management.

It comes after the family moved Sir Toms £2.25million mansion to a private discreet listing to keep it out of the public eye. 

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

However, potential buyers will now have to make enquiries about the Grade II-listed home directly with the estate agent after it was removed from the agents website.

Describing what a discreet listing means, Fine & Country who her marketing the home said: An off-market property, also referred to as a discreet property listing, is where a seller does not want their property name or address to be visible on portals, such as Rightmove, on social media, through digital advertising, in windows of high-street agencies, in print or with a for sale board.

The sale comes after a series of scandals surrounding Captain Toms daughter, that ended with the £200,000 spa complex being torn down in February this year.

The homes history was promoted in a brochure, stating that the property is owned by the family of Captain Sir Tom Moore who spent his final years there raising money for the NHS during the Covid pandemic.

It continues: A particularly special memory of our time here is of my father walking 100 laps of the garden to raise a record-breaking sum of almost £40million for NHS charities during the pandemic.

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

The listing featured a photo of the mansions hallway, where a statute of Captain Tom doing one of his daily garden laps which raised £38million for NHS charities is pride of place.

In August 2021, the Ingram-Moores were granted permission for a Captain Tom Foundation Building in the grounds of their home to support its charitable objectives.

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

Following complaints from locals, a site visit was undertaken in March 2022, but the planning officer reported that the windows were covered and access to the inside of the building was not possible.

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

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

The 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 at odds with their Grade ll-listed home.

Before it was taken down, the Ingram-Moores were seen packing away Sir Toms legacy into 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.

Mrs Ingram Moore also faced a probe into payments made through her family company for appearances linked to her late fathers 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 had payments for the appearances made to her company, Maytrix Group.

The BBC claim she received thousands of pounds into Maytrix for attending 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 the Ingram-Moores 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, Ms Ingram Moore admitted to keeping £800,000 from books that the late army veteran had written.

She said the family kept the sum from three books because Captain Tom had wanted them to retain the profits.

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

He died on February 2, 2021, aged 100, with Buckingham Palace announcing the Queen had sent the family a private message of condolence.

The familys home up for sale boasts four bathrooms, four reception rooms and is set in 3.5 acres with a stand alone Coach House.
