How it started

History

The company was formed in March 1994 and entered into administration on 21 March 2001 with BDO Stoy Hayward. Ray Stocking, joint administrator of Impulse Music Travel, said the rapid expansion of the chain was one of the reasons why it had forced the company into administration. The company was brought out of administration and sold in July 2007. There were 24 Impulse locations across the United Kingdom prior to their closure.
