Bibi Burness founded B&W Productions in 1993 and has led the company ever since as Managing Director. Over more than three decades she has personally overseen 10,000+ events across South Africa — from intimate milestone celebrations to national brand activations, large-scale stadium concerts and corporate year-end functions.

Her work spans the full arc of the industry: the experiential builds that made B&W’s name, like the Castle Lite Ice Bar and the MxD experience at Ultra South Africa; the grassroots-to-national activation campaigns that reach real consumers in the trade; and the concert and production work behind some of the country’s biggest stages. In 2025 SAB named B&W a Top Event Supplier.

Everything B&W does is grounded in an Ubuntu ethos — the belief that greatness comes through collective effort and that success is only meaningful when it uplifts the people and communities around you. The company is headquartered in Randvaal, Gauteng, and works nationally across Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria and Polokwane.

Every guide on this site is reviewed for real-world accuracy.

The articles and planning guides published on this site draw on B&W’s hands-on experience delivering events across South Africa since 1993. Bibi personally reviews every guide for accuracy and practical, on-the-ground planning experience before it is published — so the advice reflects how events actually get delivered, not just theory.
