About us

Tim Prestia-Cook has been a multi award-winning Dealer Principal with 19 years’ experience in the role over a period of 34 years in the automotive industry as a whole.  This experience comes across a significant number of mainstream and prestige brands; having worked for international, corporate and family owned business.

Over his time in the role of Dealer Principal, Tim has trained a number of sales people into successful sales managers, technicians into advisors and service managers; then further into the role of General Manager and, with succession, Dealer Principal.

The insight that he has developed over this time to review and observe the operation of a dealership and its people to see where it can be helped and improved, is rare to say the least. In addition to this Tim has the ability to empathise, nurture and explain what is needed to people on many different levels of the business; this allows him to give an insightful overview that is rarely available.

Tim’s business acumen has been recognised by a number of different manufacturers but most recently he was one of only 14 dealers world-wide to have invited to participate in Hyundai Motor Company’s Top 1% Dealer conference twice in succession.  This conference is only attended, by invitation only, to Dealer Principals who have shown great acumen in the building of a successful, profitable and stable business in all facets of its operation.

Tim formed Blue Truck Management Solutions following a number of requests for his advice following his leaving the industry to follow personal business.  There has never been a better opportunity to get an opinion from someone who knows the automotive dealership business from such a hands on perspective.
