Adam Tighe

Welcome! I’m Adam Tighe.


As a former Registered Manager, Head of Operations, and Founder of Ethica Consulting Ltd (operating alongside A Tighe Consultant), I’ve spent 17+ years living and breathing adult social care - from personal care shifts on the floor and out in the community, to boardroom governance.


I help burnt-out care leaders running between crises like firefighters, to confidently close their laptops at 5pm on a Friday. I do this because I know exactly what it feels like when compliance pressures, CQC Assessment changes and daily operational fires leave you feeling like you're constantly playing catch-up.

My "Sounding Board" calls are a zero-pressure, confidential space to:

  • Unpack a specific friction point (whether it's CQC readiness, audit gaps, or manager/director fatigue).
  • Get an honest, pragmatic "second opinion" from someone who has sat in your chair.
  • Leave with 2–3 practical actions you can take back to your team today - no hard sales pitch, no corporate jargon, and no judgment.

Select a time below that suits your calendar, grab a coffee, and let's have a genuine, peer-to-peer chat about your service.

Ready to move forward and lock in your dates?

This quick, 15-minute call is for care providers, Registered Managers, Directors and Nominated Individuals who know exactly what support they need —whether that’s an upcoming CQC Mock Inspection, Turnaround Action Planning, or Interim Leadership Cover.

On this call, we will:

  1. Confirm your required service scope and operational timeline.
  2. Secure available dates on our delivery calendar.
  3. Complete a quick mutual compatibility check to ensure our "Compliance with Heart" approach aligns with your team and organisational culture.

We intentionally limit our monthly intake to ensure every provider receives hands-on, high-impact support. Let's confirm we're the right team for the job and get your dates locked in.

Navigating CQC regulatory updates, an aging "Requires Improvement" rating, or an upcoming inspection window? Grab a virtual coffee with senior care specialist Adam Tighe.

This is a zero-pressure, non-judgemental space to talk through your current operational pain points, test out ideas, or get an independent "critical friend" perspective on your compliance roadmap.

  • No sales pitch: Just honest, practical guidance from a former Registered Manager and Head of Operations who has walked in your shoes.
  • Compatibility Note: We specialise in supporting SMEs, independent providers, charities and franchises in adult social care. If we aren't the best fit for your specific setup, we'll tell you honestly and point you in the right direction.

The 60-min 'Coffee and Caker' Strategic Consultation

A deeper, unhurried diagnostic discussion for care business owners, directors and boards facing complex operational transitions, service turnarounds or major structural changes.

What we explore:

  • Unpacking recent CQC inspection findings, enforcement notices or audit gaps.
  • Evaluating leadership capacity, manager mentorship needs or interim cover.
  • Mapping out a bespoke, cost-effective support package tailored to your exact budget.

We work best with leaders who are open to transparent feedback, value frontline-led care and want sustainable quality rather than temporary box-ticking.

30-Min Strategic Partnership & Sector Allies Chat

Looking to collaborate, explore a strategic partnership or tap into subject matter expertise across health & social care or social housing?

This 30-minute session is designed for care sector allies, suppliers, career & employment initiatives, technology partners and multi-agency project leads who want to explore joint opportunities, pilot concepts, or seek expert guidance.

While Ethica Consulting Ltd primarily delivers CQC compliance, mock inspections and service turnarounds, this space is dedicated to broader sector impact, social responsibility and cross-industry collaboration.

On this call, we can explore:

• Subject Matter Expertise (SME) input for projects, panels or research.

• Strategic partnerships between care providers, housing providers and sector suppliers.

• Career, employment and workforce development initiatives.

• Tech-enabled care, digital risk, and innovative delivery pilots.

Compatibility & Mutual Value Note:

We welcome conversations with genuine allies who share our commitment to ethical, sustainable and person-centred care.

(Please note: This slot is reserved for strategic collaboration, project inquiries and ecosystem partnerships. It is not intended for unsolicited sales pitches or cold product demos.)
