Staff

Tom Pothier is a bodyman by trade, and opened Pothier Motors in 1957 as a body shop. He grew the business to include a Volkswagen franchise, then switched to the Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep franchise that is here today. At 90 years old Tom is still hard to slow down. Tom enjoys working with a backhoe and is still an important part of the snow removal team. If you stop by the dealership you can still see him coming in nearly every single day!

Jackie is founder Tom Pothier's wife and business partner. Right by his side through the good times and bad, Jackie was instrumental in the success of the company. They founded the dealership right beside their home, and Jackie will tell stories of using their house for everything from sales to supper for customers and visiting businessmen. Jackie is still known to invite customers over for a cup of tea to this day! 

John Pothier is the President and Dealer Principal of Pothier Motors. John took ownership of the business from his father Tom in 1986, and has grown it with a customer-focused approach that has gained customers from around (and outside) the province. He is an avid motorcycle fan, and can often be seen cruising the country on his Harley-Davidson.

Chad Pothier is the General Manager and Vice-President of Pothier Motors. Chad  joined the Pothier Motors team full time after graduating from St. Francis Xavier University in 2009. He is dedicated to ensuring customers receive a five-star experience, and is always available to take your call. In his off time he enjoys spending time in the outdoors, and can often be seen with his wife Yolan and dog Harley.

Jamie has rejoined Pothier Motor's in 2017 as a Finance Specialist. He has had a long managerial career at Scotiabank, and brings with him a wealth of financial expertise. Jamie is the youngest of Tom and Jackie's sons, and we are proud to have another family member join the team!
