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.

THE PACESETTER - 25 AUGUST 2025


🔥HOT TOPIC

Centrix data released last week shows that 2,564 hospitality businesses shut their doors in the past 12 months in New Zealand. That’s a heavy blow for owners and staff who have lost their jobs, but at the same time it highlights that the country has clearly been oversupplied with hospitality outlets.


💡SPOTLIGHT

The death of rugby player Shane Christie at 39, far too young. His passing will be a strong wake up call for NZ Rugby that more education needs to be done around head knocks. Rugby is already struggling for participation, volunteers, and support, Christie’s passing will be another heavy blow.


💭OPINION

Tom Phillips, he’s put the “E” in elusive, but what’s the future for his kids? They will one day return to normal life, the kids that is, but will they ever be able to live a "normal" life? The answer is probably no, and that's the sad part.


💎GEM OF THE WEEK

A person’s most beautiful asset is not a head full of knowledge but a heart full of love, an ear ready to listen and a hand willing to help others! How we make people feel is what people remember about us.


❓QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Should it be compulsory for employers to contribute to KiwiSaver even if the employee is not contributing themselves?


🏉SPORTIFY

Hamish Kerr, our Olympic gold medallist in the high jump, pocketed $85,000 with a 2.32 metre leap to claim his first Diamond League victory in Zurich. Not too bad, eh!
