Nicholas Coleridge, the managing director of Condé Nast in the UK, has revealed that the company is working on more new magazine launches than at any point under his reign.

Speaking in an interview on Media Week TV that goes live today, Coleridge claimed the magazine market was entering its fifth year of growth and had "never been perkier in my lifetime".

He said: "There are many opportunities for new magazines. I can't remember a time when we've been working on more potential new launches than we are at the moment."

Coleridge said he expected the company to make a full announcement regarding its new products later in the year.

The Condé Nast boss was taking part in a Media Week TV debate covering the future of publishing, alongside Simon Waldman, the group director of digital strategy and development at Guardian Media Group.

The two industry leaders discussed their respective companies' digital strategies, and the lessons they have learned over the last decade.
