Client Focus - Jack Tighe

For 50 years Jack Tighe has been painting the country red…and white…and any colour you can imagine. This Kirton Lindsey-based family business is an acknowledged leader in its field of decorating, industrial painting, shot / grit blasting and specialist coatings and has carried out some of the biggest painting projects ever commissioned.

The need for this all-embracing accountancy is recognised by Tighe, which operates in a competitive market place and has expertise in highly specialised fields. One company in the group, Jack Tighe Coatings Ltd., is based at Kirk Sandall and is among the biggest off-site blasting and coating facilities of its kind in the UK, spreading over 5.5 acres with workshops, machinery and fitting shops.

Success has come from hard work and expertise and, to keep in front of the pack, the Tighe Group of Companies has also relied on a modern approach to accountancy. This is where Forrester Boyd has come in because the firm has recognised, for some time, there is more to modern accountancy than simply doing the books.

“The days when accountants only prepare accounts are over,” says Steve Fields, partner at Forrester Boyd’s Scunthorpe office. “Modern business is a challenge and we have made great progress in re-shaping Forrester Boyd to become a more focused, progressive and value-orientated practice. We are proud of our connection with the Tighe Group, a major player in its field of expertise.”

Of its connection with Forrester Boyd, Tighe director David Welch says: “The accounting services and advice given has always been first class in helping the group maintain its position at the top of the industry in terms of service and competitiveness.”
