France Media Group buys four Archant magazine brands

 By Charlotte Tobitt

Four Archant magazine brands that were left out of the publisher’s recent takeover by Newsquest have been bought by Bath-based France Media Group: France Magazine, French Property News, Complete France, France Property Shop and their related exhibition brands.

France Media Group’s founder and editorin–chief Guy Hibbert said: “The business I started as a hobby twenty years ago has enjoyed continued growth thanks to focussing on our passion and enthusiasm for French culture, property and lifestyle. We have acquired a number of titles along the way and this latest acquisition not only extends our audience reach but also consolidates France Media Group’s position as the leading international publisher of content for Francophiles.

Archant’s chief executive Lorna Willis said:  “These titles have a natural home within France Media Group where they will continue to prosper and thrive under the direction of a passionate and dedicated team committed to providing Francophiles with the highest quality content.”

France Media Group’s existing magazine brands include Taste of France and France Today.
