The Mindshop Story
Founded in 1994 in Melbourne, Australia by Dr Chris Mason, Mindshop has grown to become one of the world’s leading providers of support solutions to business advisors and leaders. Mindshop’s goal is to simplify the complex in business and assist people achieve success. Mindshop assists all ages and professions, from students exploring future career paths via the charitable trust, Mindshop Excellence, all the way through to professionals moving into retirement.
In the years prior to establishing Mindshop, Chris was a successful independent advisor in the Australian market,
working with organisations such as Nissan, Bosch, Amcor, Pilkington and Hella. Over time, other independent advisors approached Chris to work together as a virtual consulting team, learning the business tools and processes he had developed and was using with such success.
As the number of advisors wanting support grew, a licensing model was implemented resulting in the creation of the Mindshop brand.
Over the years Mindshop expanded to support professional service firms seeking to complement their traditional compliance offerings with advisory. Support was further extended to business leaders via the community of Mindshop advisors. Business leaders can now also access Mindshop’s intellectual property to run their businesses more effectively.
Today, Mindshop supports over 1,000 advisors and business leaders globally and growing strongly, with Chris taking the role of chairman of the company and his son, James has been managing director since 2001.
Established by Mindshop founders Chris and Julie Mason in 1993, Mindshop Excellence is designed to offer a no cost, one week work experience program for year 10 students.
