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 - 09 MARCH 2026


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


  1.  Kiwi cricketer Brent Randell, playing for Central Districts against Northern Districts in our Plunket Shield, makes history by taking 5 wickets in 5 balls. In cricket terms, it’s called a triple hat trick. Now when we say history, that’s a world record from any first-class player anywhere, anytime.
  2. Our Black Caps making the T20 World Cup final, but no cigar sadly. ☹
  3. Italy’s Six Nations win over England on the weekend, the first time in 33 attempts. The UK media will be all over this like a rash.
  4. We finally got a taste of summer over the last few days. About bloody time!
  5. It’s our year. Up the Wahs! As they begin the season with a convincing win. Yep! It’s their year!























THE PACESETTER - 09 MARCH 2026


SPORTIFY

So, the majority of us got it wrong. The media, social chat at the pub, various polls. Dave Rennie got the job ahead of Jamie Joseph. What’s the one good thing out of this? The Highlanders get to keep Joseph. 


OF INTEREST 

I’ve always wondered about that healthy lunch box snack and what’s healthy, well the NZ Herald came out last week with 5 good choices. These are:


-         Nice and Natural Protein Nut Bars

-         Be Natural – Sultana Dates

-         OSM Cranberry with Blackcurrant

-         Nothing Naughty Protein Bar

-         Uncle Toby’s Protein Bars


Is your go to one of these? 


GEM

60 years of Country Calendar and still this iconic NZ TV programme continues to feature on our screens. How good! 😊


HOT TOPIC

A brutal poll for National from the recent taxpayers’ union poll out last Friday. Just when we’re being told that our economy is seeing some good signs of recovery, our Prime Minister’s rating as country leader of the country has taken a bit of a hammering.


OPINION

Our tourism numbers are on a roll. Isn’t it great to see these numbers back? Whilst it can be frustrating sitting behind campervans on the road when travelling, they are contributing significantly to our economic recovery.


TOPICAL

Effective 6 March 2026 foreign investors can now purchase or build one residential property without needing to live in NZ. Key to the rule is a minimum purchase price of NZ $5 million. Probably won't affect you or me. 😊


THE MARKETS

Did you fill up with petrol over the weekend as a result of the Middle East conflict or perhaps thirsty Thursday with NPD having 30 cents off per litre? What’s worse, any sustained oil jump could quickly push inflation higher.
