"If ever there was a good time to hand over the reins - this is it,"Kyriakou said.

"I look forward to heading back to the UK to recuperate and take on a new challenge again at some point. The agency is poised to move to its next stage of growth and I couldn't feel more confident about that with Josh and his team."

Grace will begin in his role on 17 September officially while Kyriakou will continue to be with the agency until the end of the year for a smooth transition.
