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 JUNE 2025


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


1. The Crusaders into the semi-finals and a home semi. How good!

 

2. The Wahs ran hot in the second half against the Sharks, are they the “real deal” this year?

 

3. The Chiefs’ loss has handed the Crusaders a home final, if they can get up and beat the Blues this weekend.


THE PACESETTER - 09 JUNE 2025


SPOTLIGHT

The cold snap that is blanketing the country. How good is this for our ski industry.


HOT TOPIC

Trump and Musk, is the marriage over, rover?


SPORTIFY
Is the current Super Rugby competition format right? Should the top two qualifiers of the round not have both been given the week off while the others tussle for a semi-final spot?


OPINION
Vaping is still a hot topic. Should it therefore only be available through a chemist, and not at every neighbourhood corner store?


GEM OF THE WEEK

A home semi-final for the Crusaders, just what the doctor ordered! And this coming Saturday night, it will be all “Blues” for the Blues!


QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Why is it taking so long to get action on our supermarkets and their grocery pricing? The government started talking about this in 2020, and they’re still talking. In between times, the consumer is the victim here.


OF INTEREST
Last week’s Official Cash Rate sparked another cycle of banks dropping mortgage rates. We’re now into the 4.8% range for shorter-term rates. Maybe there’s not much downside to go, so fixing at around 5% for 3 years deserves some serious thought.


THE MARKETS
 And what do we think of the price of butter? I think we just suck it up and accept it. When our agricultural export sectors are doing well, the New Zealand economy benefits, and as they say, let’s “toast that.”


New Builds – Research

What about the research that recently outlined that 88% of ex-tradespeople needed to be called back for remedial work following occupancy, with painters topping the list at 50%.
