Matthew Gledhill, managing director of Beagle Street, comments:

“The overwhelming message from those with the most life experience is that the key to happiness is to worry less and live in the moment with the people you care about most. We commissioned Happiest Moment because we want our customers to be happy as it is scientifically proven that happier people live longer. As much as people look to the future and try to climb career ladders, the film and our research clearly show that happiness is linked much more heavily to relationships, friends and family than societal or monetary status.” Happiest Moment was filmed and produced by BAFTA-nominated Gary Tarn. It features Bournemouth couple Maurice and Helen Kaye aged 102 and 101 respectively who have been married for 80 years.
