WELCOME TO PERRIAM & PARTNERS
The first thing you need to know about us is that we are really good at our job, the second is that this website is updated weekly, yes weekly, and the third, it's the very reason why we come to work "passion, purpose and profit".
Perriams' success is built on forging personal relationships with our clients. Simply put, the more we invest in understanding you, your family and your business, the more valuable the insight we can offer.
When a website doesn't include "last updated" on it's content, it begs the question "did it happen today, yesterday or 10 years ago?!" Well Perriam & Partners is about today and tomorrow.
PERRIAMS POWER RANKINGS - 06 OCTOBER 2025
Each week we announce Perriams “Game Changers” for the week.
1. Has to be the All Blacks win over the Wallabies in Perth late Saturday night, New Zealand time. Two test wins in a row were exactly what was needed — and that’s what they delivered.
2. It may have flown under the radar, but the Warriors reserve grade side that plays in the New South Wales Cup have now won their equivalent of the NRL competition this year. That all bodes well for it being our year, next year!
3. It’s not looking good for Dame Noeline Taurua’s return to coaching the Silver Ferns, with her being overlooked for the upcoming series against Australia.
THE PACESETTER - 06 OCTOBER 2025
🔥HOT TOPIC
Schools are back, and it’s a return to a bit of routine for many New Zealand households, but now you’re probably stuck in traffic!
💡SPOTLIGHT
Dame Noeline Taurua is she in, or is she out?
💭OPINION
All we seem to read about in New Zealand’s healthcare system is that it’s buggered. But why are most of us viewing this as a cost to the country rather than an investment? Improving it would drive productivity, get people back to work, and attract talent. What do you think?
💎GEM OF THE WEEK
Quote of the week goes to economist Cameron Bagrie for his attack on our National Super age:
“We now spend more on Super than we spend on the entire education system. I’d love to go toe to toe with anybody who thinks that passes the common-sense test.”
🏉SPORTIFY
The Brisbane Broncos win over the Melbourne Storm on Sunday night, the Aussies certainly know how to put on a show! The hype, the entertainment, and then the game itself, with the Broncos coming back from a 22–12 deficit to take the prize.
📊OF INTEREST
Pretty much all banks are now offering a fixed one-year rate below 4.5%. Westpac also has a special five year rate at 4.99%, which must be pretty appealing.
❓THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
The Sunday Star Times has revealed that household food costs have increased every month for the past 14 months — it’s a pity our wages can’t mirror this!
📈THE MARKETS
New Zealand’s largest owner of liquor outlets, Bottle-O Liquor Centre, reported a total drop in gross revenue of 4%, further supporting New Zealand’s falling trend in alcohol consumption. But here’s a key statistic that has to be good for everyone: the volume of low- and zero-alcohol beer has increased by 750% since 2019.
OCR 3.0% ↓ August 2025
CPI 2.7% ↑ June 2025
Unemployment 5.2% ↑ June 2025
House Price Movement 2.3% ↑ July 2024
Rent Price Movement 4.3% ↑ July 2024
AND IT’S NOW ONLY 80 days to go until Christmas. 🎄
