The Archant Life Story

From humble beginnings in 1999, when Archant published just two regional magazine titles, Archant Life Ltd has grown into the largest publisher of regional magazines in the UK publishing over 1 Million copies each issue through 53 titles covering most of the country.

From county magazines like Cheshire Life, to city magazines like The Resident in Chelsea to town magazines like The Oracle in Cheltenham all of the Archant Life's titles share one over-riding ingredient - their sheer beauty.

Our aim is to produce gorgeous magazines which reflect the finer aspects of the places each relate to. The key editorial platforms of beautiful homes, people, places, fashion and food & wine are created by local people with an intimate knowledge of the subjects they are writing about.

Couple this with stunning  photography and fantastic glossy production values and the environment that we create is unrivalled in regional media.

Whilst Archant Life publishes titles across the Country we never forget that it is our localness that makes us special and we go to great lengths to ensure that everything we do remains truly relevant to our local audiences.

Those audiences have been growing quickly. throughout 2007 like for like circulation growth has never been less than 10% ahead of 2006 - a performance unequalled by many media and a sure sign that we are giving our readers what they want.
