As key value to Worthy Group is Community.

The Worthy Group have been supporting the Goldfields Children Charity for several years and this year that support continued with a donation to the Silent Auction at their annual charity ball.

The Goldfields Children Charity is an organisation which supports families and sick children with assistance, while also channelling fundraising efforts to the Ronald McDonald House Charity and Royal Flying Doctor Service – Western Operations. Two vital organisations available to help sick children in their time of need.

Worthy Group are proud to support the Goldfields Children Charity and are stoked to see our item donated – Eurotrike Tandem Police motorbike attract a winning bid of over $700. The support for the Charity continues with several members of the team attending on the night. The Worthy Group direct involvement continues with the event hosted by Industry Link Media`s Glenn Wilson, who also donates his services and time to the Charity.

The final figure for the 2024 Charity ball is still being tallied, but again the Goldfields had a wonderful night and helped support some very special Charites.

Worthy Group’s Jaymi Worthington Joins Perth Lynx Coaching Team in Kalgoorlie Pre-Season Games

This week marks an exciting chapter for basketball in the Goldfields, with the Perth Lynx taking on the Bendigo Spirit in two blockbuster WNBL pre-season clashes at the Evolution Mining Basketball Stadium. Supported by SEN (Sports Entertainment Network), major sponsor Northern Star Resources, and grants from both the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder (CKB) and the WA State Government (DLGSC / CITS), this event is a proud moment for our community.

For Worthy Group, it is made even more special with our very own Jaymi Worthington-Head Coach of the Goldfields Giants Women-being invited to step onto the Lynx bench as an assistant coach for the series.

A Unique Coaching Opportunity

Jaymi, alongside Giants Men’s Head Coach Lennon Smart, was honoured when Lynx Head Coach Ryan Petrik asked them to join his coaching staff for the week. The chance to contribute at WNBL level is not only a privilege but also an invaluable learning experience.

“It’s a real opportunity to be a sponge at a higher level,” Jaymi said, reflecting on the chance to observe and learn from one of the country’s leading coaches and players.

Local Pride – Celebrating Jaya Scafidi

The games also mark a homecoming for Kalgoorlie’s own Jaya Scafidi, who has earned a place in the Perth Lynx squad. Jaymi has previously been an assistant coach when Jaya was playing for the Goldfields Giants and coached against Jaya in local competitions and is thrilled to see her former player rise to the national stage.

“The town is extremely proud of Jaya’s development. To see her included in the Lynx squad is inspiring-not just for her, but for every junior coming through our Goldfields programs,” Jaymi shared.

Jaya’s journey is a shining example of the pathways that exist for regional athletes, and her presence on court is sure to motivate the next generation of basketballers in Kalgoorlie.

Basketball in the Goldfields – Bigger Than Ever

This week’s games highlight the strength of basketball in our region. With Northern Star’s major financial backing, combined with the vital support of CKB and state government grants, Kalgoorlie is hosting one of the most significant professional basketball events in its history.

Crowds will enjoy top-level WNBL action, with 50% of all door takings proudly donated to the Goldfields Women’s Health Care Centre – A powerful reminder of the community-first values behind this event.

Good Luck, Jaymi!

We at Worthy Group are incredibly proud of Jaymi’s achievements, both on and off the court. Her leadership with the Giants Women continues to raise the standard of local basketball, and this opportunity with the Lynx is deserved recognition of her talent, commitment, and passion for the game.

If you’re in town, make sure you get down to Evolution Mining Basketball Stadium to cheer on Jaymi, Jaya, and the Lynx as they take on Bendigo Spirit. It’s Kalgoorlie’s time to shine!

Celebrating 7 Years of Dedication: Rick Butterfield’s Journey with Worthy Group

March 26, 2025 No Comments

This month we’re proud to celebrate a significant milestone—Rick Butterfield’s 7-year anniversary with the Worthy Group family.

Rick’s journey began in early 2018 when he joined Worthy Parts as a Workshop Supervisor, diving headfirst into the world of machinery dismantles and inventory logistics. From the get-go, Rick brought a strong work ethic, and a hands-on approach to our workshop during a critical time of growth.

But Rick isn’t one to stay in one lane. It quickly became clear that his natural people skills and genuine approach to building relationships made him a perfect fit for the sales team. With his trademark sense of humour and ability to connect with anyone, he transitioned into a sales role and started building lasting connections across the industry—many of which are still going strong today.

When Worthy Engineering went through a major restructure, Rick didn’t hesitate. Instead of standing back, he selflessly put his hand up to return to the workshop and support where he was needed most. It’s this kind of loyalty and quiet leadership that doesn’t always shout the loudest—but speaks volumes about Rick’s character.

Now, in his current role as a Project Coordinator, Rick sits at the intersection of our sales and engineering teams—helping bridge the gap, coordinating complex jobs, and doing what he loves most: helping clients and building genuine friendships.

Rick is a valued part of our business, and his commitment, humility, and team-first attitude haven’t gone unnoticed. And even when he flies under the radar, those who’ve worked alongside Rick know the impact he makes each and every day.

Rick, thank you for seven solid years of loyalty, resilience, and mateship. Your journey with Worthy Group has been filled with grit, growth, and a whole lot of good banter. We’re better for having you as part of the team, and we’re looking forward to the next chapter of your story.

Here’s to you, Rick—a true Worthy legend.

Welcoming Martin Browning to the Worthy Group Team

At Worthy Group, we pride ourselves on attracting top-tier talent to drive excellence across all facets of our operations. With that in mind, we are thrilled to announce the full-time appointment of Martin Browning (or “Marty” as he is widely known) as our new Group Manager of Operations. After providing invaluable insights in a consulting capacity towards the end of last year, Marty has officially joined the team in 2025 to support our continued growth and operational improvements.

Marty brings with him over 25 years of diverse experience, having worked across various mining operations throughout the Goldfields, Pilbara, and New South Wales. His extensive career has encompassed both open-pit and underground mines, as well as coal operations, giving him a comprehensive understanding of the unique challenges faced by mining enterprises.

His previous roles have seen him collaborate closely with teams to execute strategic maintenance and mobile asset planning, ensuring that equipment and operations run efficiently. Marty also has deep roots in site-level maintenance, giving him a well-rounded perspective that combines practical, hands-on experience with high-level strategic oversight.

Interestingly, Marty has previously worked alongside another key member of our team, Sean Wood, our new Project Manager. The two spent more than six years together on local Kalgoorlie minesites, and we’re excited to see them bring that trusted dynamic to Worthy Group’s projects.

In his new role, Marty will focus on enhancing our workshop processes, streamlining asset management strategies, and delivering continued efficiency improvements across the group. With his leadership and expertise, we aim to further strengthen our capacity to serve clients with innovative, reliable, and cost-effective solutions.

Please join us in welcoming Marty to the Worthy Group family. His wealth of experience and dedication to operational excellence are set to make a significant impact on our business. We look forward to the many achievements ahead as he helps guide our teams to new heights.

His extensive industry knowledge, strategic leadership, and hands-on experience make him a significant addition to our growing team.

For those who have been part of the Worthy journey, Sean is a familiar and highly regarded face. Back in 2019, Sean led the successful Mining Legends charity project, overseeing the rebuild of a CAT R2900G loader. This initiative demonstrated not only his technical expertise but also his ability to galvanise industry support for a great cause, leaving a lasting legacy for the mining community.

Sean’s return to Worthy Group comes at a pivotal time, as we continue to expand our capabilities across various projects and sectors. His deep understanding of mining operations and his proven track record in delivering complex projects on time and within budget will play a crucial role in enhancing the services we provide to our clients.

His ability to mentor teams has earned him a reputation for excellence, making him a perfect fit for our culture of continuous improvement.

We are excited to have Sean on board and look forward to the positive impact he will bring to our clients and projects. Please join us in welcoming Sean Wood back to Worthy Group.
