A firm run by the daughter and son-in-law of Captain Sir Tom Moore has registered a fall in net assets of more than £330,000. Club Nook Ltd’s newly published accounts follow a highly critical official report about Hannah Ingram-Moore and husband Colin’s handling of affairs at a charity in the World War Two veteran’s name.
The firm had just £149 in net assets — everything a company owns minus its debts — in the year ending April 2024, down from £336,300 in the previous 12 months, the unaudited financial statements show. More than £67,000 was owed to creditors in the most recent period, compared with £6,518 before, according to the balance sheet.
The couple set up Club Nook after Captain Tom rose to fame with his record-breaking fundraising, which began as he completed 100 circuits of their garden for his 100th birthday at the height of the Covid lockdown. In November, the firm was named in a two-year Charity Commission investigation into the Captain Tom Foundation, which was established to continue his legacy of goodwill.
The couple made ‘repeated failures’ at the helm of the charity, according to the inquiry. The report found a misleading implication that donations from book sales would be made to the foundation. An advance of almost £1.5 million was paid to Club Nook, where the Ingram-Moores are directors, for a three-book deal and none went to the foundation, the regulator said.
