Roger Taylor, Chairman of Amlin, said, 'We are pleased to welcome Stine Bosse as
Amlin plc's first continental European Director. As a serving insurance CEO, we
believe she will bring a new perspective to our Board, complementing our current
UK and US non-executives. We look forward to her contribution'.
