Captain Tom’s daughter’s company is set to be struck off

Their company, the Maytrix Group, claimed up to £100,000 in furlough money over a period of 10 months, according to government documents.

The daughter of Captain Sir Tom Moore will allegedly be struck off after she made thousands from the charity set up in her father’s name.

Hannah Ingram-Moore’s company, Maytrix Group Ltd, has been issued a fourth warning for a ‘compulsory strike off’, having been two months late with its accounts this year.

Their company, the Maytrix Group, claimed up to £100,000 in furlough money over a period of 10 months, according to government documents.

Additionally, they pocketed £47,500 in Covid loans, despite making bumper profits that year.

It comes as Ingram-Moore reportedly made thousands of pounds by attending awards ceremonies for the Captain Tom Foundation, set up in her late father’s name.

Earlier this month, Ingram-Moore and her husband were barred from being charity trustees as part of an ongoing inquiry into their foundation.

In a statement, the family said they ‘fundamentally disagree’ with the decision.

A statutory inquiry into The Captain Tom Foundation was opened in 2022 after concerns about the charity’s management were raised the previous year, including about the charity’s independence from the family’s businesses.

Speaking in October last year during an appeal hearing against the demolition of a spa pool block at the home of the Ingram-Moores, barrister Scott Stemp said the charity is ‘unlikely to exist’ in future.

The family lost that appeal and a digger was seen tearing down parts of the unauthorised building earlier this year.

The foundation was registered on 5 June 2020, following the fundraising efforts of the late Captain Sir Tom Moore during the pandemic.

He inspired the nation by raising £38 million for NHS charities, after he set a goal of walking 100 laps of his garden by his 100th birthday on 30 April 2020.

The foundation was registered as a grant-making charity, for the advancement of public health and wellbeing.

Helen Stephenson, CEO of the Charity Commission, said when the investigation was announced in 2022: ‘The late Captain Sir Tom Moore inspired the nation with his courage, tenacity and concern for others.

‘It is vital that public trust in charity is protected, and that people continue to feel confident in supporting good causes.

‘We do not take any decision to open an inquiry lightly, but in this case our concerns have mounted.

‘We consider it in the public interest to examine them through a formal investigation, which gives us access to the full range of our protective and enforcement powers.’
