Turnkey Sound Control goes bust

Sad (-ish) news for British music gear buyers - Sound Control group, who own a string of enormo-shops and Turnkey, the UK distributors for Moog, DSI, Jomox and more, have appointed administrators after failing to find a buyer: "Following a review of the Group�s operations the Administrators have today made the difficult decision to close 10 of the Group�s trading locations and bring to an end its telesales and internet sales activities. These changes to the Group�s operations have resulted in 163 redundancies with immediate effect." The group has a turnover of �50m and employed 338 people across Britain. Obviously their competitors, like Dolphin Music and Digital Village are delighted. Theres a very well informed thread over at the Sound on Sound forum which includes comments from various former staff.
