Bill Cole is a husband and father of 4 children. Bill has served his community and state in
various capacities on charitable boards, reading to young students in schools and as a
member in the West Virginia House of Delegates. Currently, Bill serves on the board of Bluefield
Regional Medical Center, the Greater Bluefield Development Authority and the W. Paul
Jr School of Business at Bluefield State College.
Bill began his business career in the commercial truck parts business. Bill's first big
venture was building a multi-market supply company that became an industry leader and
innovator. That company was purchased by Wall Street investment bankers. Not one to
sit around, Bill, armed with a degree from Northwood University purchased his first
dealership in Bluefield West Virginia. That first location is now the home of the Bill Cole
Automall. We boast Honda, Nissan, Subaru and Kia franchises with steady year to year
growth.
Bill Cole Automall expanded in 2010 with the opening of a new location in Ashland Kentucky
featuring Honda and Nissan automobiles. Bill Cole Automall is a family business, and with
sons Jason and Lee in top performing roles within the organization the future is bright.
Bill's focus on customer satisfaction and his belief in transparent business practices have
led to a culture of success. That is why at Bill Cole Automall, we dont sell a lot of
vehicles.... We sell one vehicle correctly and do it thousands of times each year!
Bill is also an accomplished pilot of over 30 years. He is licensed to fly many aircraft from
seaplanes and jets, to helicopters. |
