ANOTHER BOOTCAMPER MAKES HIS MARK IN HOLLYWOOD!

Article written by Matt Fleming, Plymouth Herald Newspaper 11/7/08

Former Devonport High School for Boys student and now a Hollywood actor, Joey Ansah helped launch the publicity for a multi-purpose studio Bootcamp Graduate Nick Palfrey’s MooFu Ltd.  Joey, who played an assassin in Hollywood blockbuster The Bourne Ultimatum, wanted to put his face to the new facility, based at Plymouth’s Airport Business Centre.

Nick commented to the Plymouth Herald: “We make educational products, like films and resources for schools. We wanted to expand the business and make it multi-purpose, so we designed the new centre with video suites, a music studio – all sorts. It will open in early August, but we wanted Joey to put his face to it beforehand so we can tell people all about it and show it will have star quality.”

Joey’s stepbrother, Tom McCaren, is the commercial studio manager at MooFu, and he wanted him to help publicise the new multi-purpose centre. A fight scene with Joey in action was filmed last week in a city warehouse at the airport business centre.

MooFu was the result of Nick’s experience of going through the 2007 Entrepreneurs Bootcamp. He said “The concept behind MooFu had existed for a while and the Bootcamp’s support allowed my idea to become reality. I was introduced to successful business people and they convinced me that my idea was the perfect recipe to form a successful business.”
