Nicholas Coleridge, president of Condé Nast publishers to V&A
Nicholas Coleridge, president of Condé Nast publishers, will be the new chairman of the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A). He takes over in November from Paul Ruddock, who has held the post since 2007. The appointment by Prime Minister David Cameron was announced on the last working day before the election campaign formally begins, after which such decisions are normally delayed for the new government.
