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 - 2 JUNE 2025


Each week we announce Perriams’ “Game Changers” for the week.


  1. All those recipients of a King's Birthday Honours award, particularly those who are not prominent in society, working behind the scenes, they are the “real deal”.

  2. The Wahs are now sitting at number 3 in the NRL, and their fan base is building. Rugby, you’re on watch and you have been now for a while.

  3. Kerry Anderson, 82 years of age, who has had open heart surgery swam 42.195 km in the ocean in Napier last Friday. How good was that! 


THE PACESETTER - 2 JUNE 2025


GOING UP
France is to ban smoking in all outdoor spaces where children are present including beaches, parks, sports venues and near schools. NZ, take note!


GOING DOWN
Those sports recipients of King’s Birthday honours who are still competing. Why can’t we wait until they finish their careers and then we can see what contribution they make to their sport?


TOPICAL
Luxon and Willis have reopened discussions on our superannuation. It’s our largest and fastest growing welfare expense. 
Come on Winston P, why are you holding the gun on this? 
We’ve got to go to 67.


OF INTEREST
Agricultural commodity prices are booming for NZ despite being the big earner for our country, the primary sector still only accounts for about 6% of our GDP. Our service sector accounts for around 74%, and this is where the bulk of the nation’s economic activity happens, that is in our cities and involves Kiwis doing stuff for other Kiwis. This, they say, is why Kiwis don’t feel like things out there are improving. So, what’s the answer?
 
HOT TOPIC
The Levin boy racers led the news over the weekend and yes, it was partially squashed by a bigger police presence, but the question is why? Why was it even allowed to take place in the first instance?
 
OPINION
David Seymour has now stepped up to the deputy job as per the coalitions agreed negotiation. Is he “acting” or doing?


SPORTIFY
The Crusaders finished the Super Rugby round at No. 2. A home game this Friday against the Reds will see them one step closer to the Crusaders of old.
 
GEM OF THE WEEK
No one gem of the week this week, but rather it goes to all those King's Birthday Honors recipients – well done to you all. 
 
THE MARKETS
Unemployment is expected to keep rising and the latest business and consumer outlook surveys show confidence fading. That coupled with the Reserve Bank’s own forecasts looking pretty grim, all points to our economy continuing to run well below capacity.
