What you see is most likely an embedded thumbnail of the original.
Probably the tiff is corrupt in some way, difficult to say without inspecting the original. If you can post on somewhere like dropbox you might get a verdict.
Rich2005 -thanks. It was your comment about the thumbnail that realised I was making a stupid mistake.
When the tiff is imported into Gimp it was coming as two pages. When saved the image and the thumbnail show in two separate layers and you can delete the thumbnail layer to leave the full-size image. I was trying to save time and delete one of the pages (which I thought contained the thumbnail) before importing and stupidly didn't realise I was importing only the thumbnail!!!
