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 - 24 NOVEMBER 2025
Each week we announce Perriams “Game Changers” for the week.
1. The All Blacks not quite the grand slam of four wins we were all hoping for, but three out of four ain’t too bad 😊
2. National’s pledge to lift KiwiSaver rates by 2032. With the employer contribution going to 6%, and the employee contribution going up to as much as 12%.
3. Fonterra’s sale of its consumer assets to French company Lactalis — let’s hope this becomes the catalyst NZ Inc. needs to inject some life into the economy and get farmers spending up.
THE PACESETTER - 24 NOVEMBER 2025
💭OPINION
Six out of seven New Zealanders report high or very high life satisfaction.
Yet at the same time they’re saying, we’re getting fatter, eating fewer vegetables, vaping more, and experiencing higher levels of psychological distress.
That’s according to a just-released annual health survey.
So, the question is: Are you one of the six… or the one in seven?
DID YOU KNOW?
Z Energy has been importing finished petroleum products from India.
And guess where the crude oil used in those products comes from? Russia.
Not a great look, Z — that’s a tough pill for many to swallow.
TOPICAL
By the time we finally get the new Cook Strait ferries in 2029, Winston Peters may be retired from Parliament.
But will he?
Maybe he could even remake the old “Cruising on the Interislander” TV ad if he’s still around.
🏉SPORTIFY
Why couldn’t they have scheduled the ABs’ game against England as the final match instead of Wales?
How good then would it have been to see that final tournament match?
📊OF INTEREST
A poll in a Canadian veterinary journal found that “most pet owners give equal or greater priority to buying healthy food for their pets compared with themselves”.
📈THE MARKETS
New Zealand company directors worry too much about what others think, according to Fran O’Sullivan’s business commentary.
Maybe that’s part of why our economy is underperforming — we lack big ambition. Think Rocket Lab!
