IBA’s Consultancy team continues expansion in line with market demand.

IBA are delighted to welcome three new staff members to their Consultancy team. Already providing valuations, appraisals, data services, commercial and technical consultancy, the new influx of talent into this important and busy department will further increase the resources and expertise available to IBA’s diverse client base.

The three new analysts, Carmen Wong, Huda Syed and Kim Seward – all high-achieving graduates with a strong passion for aviation – bring with them considerable and varied backgrounds of experience. This complements the existing team, which already has comprehensive aircraft, engine, operational, technical and financial knowledge.

Carmen Wong, who holds a BSc in Aviation Engineering with Pilot Studies from Brunel, also has a Private Pilot’s Licence (PPL) and recently worked as a contracting engineer at 3M UK Plc.

Huda Syed joins IBA with a BSc in Aeronautical Engineering from the University of Glasgow and a Master’s in Finance from Strathclyde. Huda recently worked as a researcher at a hedge fund management company.

Kim Seward comes from a family with a strong aviation tradition, holding a BSc in Biomedical Sciences from Durham. Kim’s enthusiasm for aviation developed further while at University, where she was a vital part of the Northumbrian university’s Air Squadron.

“This is an exciting time for IBA, we received over 200 hundred applications for these roles and so were able to handpick the three most talented and passionate individuals to join our team. Collectively bringing knowledge of modelling, finance, materials, engineering and operations, I am confident that we will feel their positive impact on the team quickly.” Comments Dr. Stuart Hatcher, IBA’s Head of Valuations and Risk.
