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 - 02 MARCH 2026

THE PACESETTER - 02 MARCH 2026


SPOTLIGHT

All eyes will be on Iran and the fallout from this. What will it do to oil prices? The disruption of travel? Our export market, and so on! Just more global uncertainty to add to the mix.


SPORTIFY

If you’re a Crusaders supporter, then after 15 minutes into the game against the Chiefs on Saturday night you were probably thinking back to 2024. But — and here’s the but — what a turnaround and a result for the Crusaders. Great game and great win.


OF INTEREST 

The cost of living. There’s not a day that goes by that we don’t read, hear, or talk about the cost of living — the same old comment, “we’ve got to get the cost of living down”. You know what? It never goes down!


GEM

“The bravest are those most afraid, but that endure.” – Pam Brown, 1928 –


OPINION

The speed of the national anthem played in the NZ T20 game over England on the weekend, whilst capturing everybody by surprise, there might be a good outcome here. Why is that? Don’t we need to G it up a bit. 


QUESTION OF THE WEEK

One in three Kiwis don’t have any more than $500 in their bank accounts that they can readily access, according to a recent survey. As an economy, how can we recover with these sorts of stats?


AI

The founder of Twitter has cut 4,000 roles at the tech company in what is believed to be the biggest round of job cuts in US history. So, what do these 4,000 people do now? And what about all those that are still to announce layoffs due to AI?


TOPICAL

Electric Avenue — record-smashing weekend played out in Christchurch over Friday and Saturday. Hats off to the organisers and promoters, and the Christchurch economy was a huge beneficiary.


THE MARKETS

Air NZ reported an operating loss of $40m last week. What the? It’s our national airline. Does this mean that our flights are now going to be more expensive, or is the answer internal? Let’s hope the latter!
