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 FEBRUARY 2026


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


  1. Daniel Hillier one of our leading golfers doesn’t hold the profile as Ryan Fox, but talk about getting results with his hot start to the DP world tour. Four top-5 finishes in his opening five events this season.
  2. Our Black Caps first-up win over Afghanistan in the T20 World Cup. A good start.
  3. Italy’s win over Scotland in the Six Nations over the weekend 18-15. Always good to see an underdog win/upset. 























THE PACESETTER - 09 FEBRUARY 2026


SPOTLIGHT

The sewage that’s finding its way into our popular swimming spots across the country. What can we make of all of this? Just put it down to our ailing infrastructure in NZ. Pretty “crap” really. 


SPORTIFY

 How good is it watching the Winter Olympics! Not only have these guys been training for 4 years but for many, the tricks that they have to pull off, putting all parts of their body on the line, risking what could be significant injuries. Not many other sports subject competitors to so much risk. That’s why they all deserve a pat on the back. 


OF INTEREST 

Tesla faces huge competition from China’s BYD company. But here’s the interesting thing Tesla has not introduced a new car model since 2020. Now for an innovative company what does this suggest about Tesla’s future?


GEM

Jono Ridler, the man swimming the length of the North Island for a world record distance swim. He has now swum 572 km. Follow him on his website tracker. This is a challenge that would take you to dark places and you can read about what he has had to endure. Jono is raising awareness of a healthy ocean and the call to end the bottom trawling. He is our Gem this week.



OPINION

The Waitangi weekend is over but did you, like me, feel that there was not the hype this year as in other years?


TOPICAL

The Epstein files. Getting a lot of media attention despite his death in 2019.

Prince Andrew, Bill Gates, and many others are driving the media frenzy. How many more dominos will fall as we learn more about Epstein’s devious world?


THE MARKETS

With all the talk over the last 3 weeks of AI Stocks hitting all-time highs and the bubble bursting, on Friday the Dow Jones hits 50,000 points. An all-time record.
