As part of Worthy Parts’ ongoing commitment to strengthening relationships and expanding our global footprint, Phil Lipscomb recently wrapped up a productive and rewarding trip across North America and Canada.
The journey kicked off in Elko, Nevada, where Phil attended the 2025 Elko Mining Expo—one of the most respected mining events in the U.S. The Expo served as a valuable opportunity to engage with suppliers, learn what’s new in the industry, and keep our finger on the pulse of evolving mining solutions.
Following the Expo, Phil linked up with Managing Director Michael Worthington for a series of site visits and partner meetings across key regions of the U.S. These meetings were focused on strengthening existing partnerships, exploring new opportunities, and having the kind of in-person conversations that are hard to replicate through a screen.
Midway through the trip, Phil and Michael attended the Sandhills Global Forum in Lincoln, Nebraska—an event known for bringing together major players in the machinery and heavy equipment space. With a mix of formal sessions and relaxed networking (including a round of golf and some time at the College World Series), it offered a great chance to reconnect with contacts, swap ideas, and reinforce our place in the global equipment ecosystem.
After more meetings across the U.S., Phil rounded out the trip with a visit to Canada—a place he once called home for over a decade. It was a great opportunity to catch up with old connections, many of whom helped shape his early career in the industry.
At Worthy Parts, we know business is about more than just transactions—it’s about people. Getting out from behind the desk and spending time with partners face-to-face helps us stay sharp, understand challenges on the ground, and improve how we operate. Whether we’re discussing stock availability, freight solutions, or just catching up over a coffee, we’re always looking for ways to be better at what we do.
Phil’s recent travels are a good reminder that the best way to grow is to get out there. It’s something we value deeply—showing up, listening, and backing it up with action.
