Event Organisation

Lyndsey McIntyre has been organising Events under the Surazuri umbrella for more than 25 years. Over the last 5 years Surazuri Events has been run by Michelle Shepherd who brings to the table over 30 years of experience in the media industry in both the UK and Kenya.

From intimate dinners and corporate celebrations to conferences, exhibitions major events and private dinners, Surazuri continues to create experiences that are thoughtful, distinctive and beautifully delivered.

With more than 30 years of experience, we combine creativity, practical know-how and a trusted network of specialist suppliers to take an event from the first idea through to the final detail.

we create events that reflect the client, the brand and the reason people are coming together.

We begin by understanding the brief, the audience and what the event needs to achieve. From there, we develop the concept, create the environment and manage the details that bring it to life.

Depending on the project, we can manage everything from concept development, budgeting and venue selection to design, suppliers, décor, catering, entertainment, production and on-the-day management.

No two events should feel the same. We create around the brief.

Exhibitions

An exhibition stand has seconds to capture attention — but it also needs to work.

Surazuri creates turnkey exhibition spaces that combine visual impact with practical design, considering everything from product presentation and visitor flow to branding and meeting areas.

Our longstanding work at IFTEX, Kenya's international flower trade exhibition, has included stands for Airflo, Dutch Flower Group, Dümmen Orange and Chrysal.

Each project is individually designed and managed from concept and costing through production, installation and breakdown.

A temporary brand environment designed to be noticed, experienced and remembered.

Corporate & Social Events

From 15 guests to 10,000.

Our experience includes product and car launches, property openings, fashion and hospitality events, weddings, craft fairs, model searches (including the Ford Models Supermodel of the World Kenya – Scouting and Finals events: 2002 - 2011), concerts, team-building days and large public celebrations — including an air show attended by more than 10,000 people.

Whatever the scale, our aim is to make the experience feel effortless for the guest.

Conferences & Brand Spaces

Spaces that work for people.

The environment in which people meet, learn and exchange ideas can transform an event.

For conferences and corporate gatherings, we consider the whole experience — from layout, furniture and staging to graphics, catering, entertainment, breakout areas and networking spaces.

Whether formal or informal, our aim is simple:

Make the space work beautifully for the people using it.
