Dean Pipitone<\/h3>\r\n

Managing Director, joined May 2003<\/h5>\r\n

Dean has been with Cooper Solutions since the beginning.\u00a0 He was the driving force behind the success of FullCover, with consistent year on year increases in the number of days retailers have taken advantage of our daily rate insurance for customer loans. His mission is to enhance the experience our retailer clients offer their customers, whether the customer is looking to buy, or returning for aftersales support. Having worked for BMW, Dean is fully aware of the pressures retailers face. Finely tuning FullCompliance, Dean oversaw the development of software that combats the threat of six-figure fines faced by dealerships failing to comply with BIK tax guidelines and vehicle banding for employees. Now at the helm, Dean works tirelessly to move the business forward. Away from the office, his excellent negotiation skills are tested by his two young daughters.<\/p>\r\n
