Stephen Quinn, Publishing Director of British Vogue for more than 26 years, will be retiring at the end of 2017, it was announced today by Albert Read, Managing Director of Condé Nast Britain. During his time at Vogue Stephen has sold 42,600 display ad pages and secured total ad revenues in excess of £430 million. The Centenary issue (June 2016) was the largest issue in the magazine’s history (464 pages), and the biggest in terms of advertising (266 pages, an increase of 141 pages year on year). Stephen joined Condé Nast in 1988 from Hearst (Nat Mags in those days) to launch British GQ with huge conviction, making it a great success and to a large degree establishing the men’s market in the UK. Four years later, in 1992, Stephen oversaw his first issue of Vogue as Publishing Director, with then Editor Liz Tilberis. That same year Alexandra Shulman left her role as Editor of GQ to join Vogue as Editor, the continuation of a working relationship between Stephen and Alexandra which lasted more than a quarter of a century. Stephen will continue as Publishing Director of Vogue until 22 December 2017.
