A former England rugby international turned pundit has invested in a start-up developing what it describes as “the world’s first” free public relations platform.
David Flatman, who made more than 150 appearances as a prop for Bath Rugby before beginning a media career, has put an undisclosed amount behind Newspage, founded by Bath-based journalist and entrepreneur Dominic Hiatt.
Launched last year, the business is looking to enable small businesses, charities, or individuals seeking press coverage to directly connect with media outlets.
