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 Cole 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 inventment bankers.
Not one to sit around, armed with a degree from Northwood University purchased
his first dealership in Bluefield WV. 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
busniness, 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 lead to a culture of success. That is why at
the 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
ranging from seaplanes and jets, to helicopters.

I have had the great fortune to operate top dealerships across the country for the
past 25+ years. Being a native of Hinton, West Virginia and recently moving back to
the area from Phoenix. It is refreshing to come back home and operate a dealership
that I personally feel has the highest commitment to customer and employee
satisfaction of any dealership I have worked for. Bill Cole's ethical approach to
business is unequal in the industry.
On a personal note, I enjoy showing and breeding Tennessee Walking Horses.
