Richard Brindle, Chief Executive Officer, commented: 'Since joining Lancashire
in 2006, Simon Burton has demonstrated superior leadership and technical
underwriting qualities for the Group. Simon's new responsibilities are a
reflection of the Board's and my faith in his abilities. Alex Maloney and
Elaine Whelan likewise have worked tirelessly for the Group since its inception.
Their new responsibilities are recognition of the contribution each is making.
I congratulate all of them on their promotions.'
'I am enjoying myself tremendously and I look forward to continuing with
Lancashire for the foreseeable future.'
Bob Spass, Chairman of Lancashire Holdings, added: 'These promotions are a
natural step in the evolution of the Lancashire Group. They reflect the fact
that, while headquartered in Bermuda, the addition of the underwriting platform
in London means the Group now writes its diversified mix of insurance products
across two major locations. The quality of the senior management team, as
reflected by these appointments, underpins the Board's confidence in the ability
of the Lancashire Group to consolidate its position as an established player in
its specialty markets.'
