Our mission, values and experience

About us

Tailwind Digital are enterprise open-source specialists, digital transformation consultants, and the sole managed service provider for Local Gov IMS - the income management system developed through the MHCLG-funded Local Digital Fund with Barnsley Council.

Technology for public good

Our mission

We've spent careers leading change in and around local government across payments, income management, and digital service delivery. We work with open technology because public organisations deserve software they can own and build on.

From scoping through to go-live and beyond, we're with you. We are there when it matters and invested in outcomes for your council and the citizens you serve.
