Funding to fuel Bosena’s creative expansion

A Cornwall-based creative production company is set to expand its portfolio and team following new investment.

Independent production company Bosena has secured a six-figure loan from the British Business Bank’s South West Investment Fund, managed by The FSE Group, to support its continued growth in high-end TV and film. 

Bosses say the funding will be used to enhance the company’s website and products, expand staff and invest strategically in new projects.

Denzil Monk, chief executive of Bosena, said: “We’re incredibly grateful for the continued support from The FSE Group.

“This South West Investment Fund loan will allow us to strengthen our core team and infrastructure so that we can deliver ambitious, larger-scale projects with confidence.

“We’re proud to create work that reflects Cornwall’s unique cultural landscape while engaging with global audiences on the most urgent and relevant issues of our time.”

Bosena’s latest film, ROSE OF NEVADA, premiered at the Venice International Film Festival and stars BAFTA nominees George MacKay and Callum Turner. 

The film has achieved 100 per cent rating on Rotten Tomatoes and five-star reviews.

Since 2021, Bosena has worked with The FSE Group, which previously provided funding via the Cornwall & Isles of Scilly Investment Fund. 

The company has grown steadily, forging partnerships with Film4 and the British Film Institute, both of which continue to back Bosena’s creative vision.

Hannah Sprague, investment manager at The FSE Group, added: “Denzil and the Bosena team have demonstrated a compelling combination of creative excellence and commercial acumen.

“Their clear vision, proven track record, and growing pipeline of high-end TV projects make this a very exciting business to support.

“We’re delighted to continue our partnership as they scale the business.”

The South West Investment Fund offers loans from £25,000 to £100,000, debt finance up to £2 million, and equity investment up to £5 million, helping smaller businesses access funding they might otherwise struggle to secure.

Paul Jones, senior investment manager at the British Business Bank, added: “Having previously backed Bosena through one of our inaugural regional funds, we’re pleased to see our South West Investment Fund support them on their continued growth journey.

“The business is attracting top-class talent to produce award-winning content for a global marketplace, and this new investment will allow them to build on that success.”
