“Taking the hassle out of flatting” for 5000 people in New Zealand, and supporting WSPA and The Starship Foundation: www.FlatmatesNZ.com

FlatmatesNZ.com today announced 5000 people have signed up to use its popular flat and flatmate finding service.

Dylan Bland, young entrepreneur and founder of FlatmatesNZ.com, said that the fast growth of the free website proves there is a great need for the service in New Zealand.

“It’s amazing what we have achieved since December 2002. Our rapid growth proves the strength of the FlatmatesNZ.com concept and fills a large gap in the market,” said Dylan Bland.

FlatmatesNZ.com today also announced its support of WSPA (World Society for the Protection of Animals) and The Starship Foundation through a member donation scheme which allows FlatmatesNZ.com members to make an online donation while using the website.

“FlatmatesNZ.com is free and is saving people a lot of time and money trying to find a flat or flatmate. After our members place or reply to a listing, we are asking them to make a donation to either of these two great organizations if they are in a position to do so” said Dylan Bland.

Kimberly Muncaster, Manager of WSPA in New Zealand said, "WSPA is thrilled to have an association with FlatmatesNZ.com. Through their generous support we hope to raise the profile of WSPA and much needed funds for our work. We thank FlatmatesNZ.com for their commitment to the community. We hope that members of their fantastic service, will also feel moved to make a difference themselves."

Andrew Young, Communications Manager for The Starship Foundation said, "The Starship Foundation is very grateful to have the support of FlatmatesNZ.com and its member donation scheme. Our charity works hard each year to raise funds for sick children from throughout New Zealand and the Pacific - but we couldn't do it without the help of generous individuals, community groups and businesses.”

“The FlatmatesNZ.com team is passionate about both WSPA and The Starship Foundation, our member donation scheme is a way our company can contribute to both of these causes. Because FlatmatesNZ.com provides an excellent service free of charge, we are in a unique position to promote and support these two fantastic organizations,” says Bland.
