Accounting & Finance, University of Edinburgh
I'm in my third year of Accounting and Finance at the University of Edinburgh. I built an index of luxury watch resale prices that I still update, and I’ve written a research memo on how IAG accounts for its Avios points.
Where I've worked and studied
Neither of these was for a course or a job. I did them in my own time.
+15.77%
Since I started it in November 2025
I built this index to follow resale prices for ten popular luxury watches. I update it two or three times a month using listings on Chrono24.
Based on median asking prices for 10 watches on Chrono24.

How much IAG’s profit moves if its breakage estimate changes by 5 points, by IAG’s own numbers
When Avios points expire unused, IAG books their value as profit, based on its own estimate of how many will never be spent. I wanted to know how much profit rests on that estimate, and whether anyone outside the company checks it.
I’m based in Edinburgh. If you’re hiring, we met at an event, or you have a question about the projects, send me an email or message me on LinkedIn.
