It’s great to be recognised as a member of the CROSSTRADES family.

The Network is at another level compared to others because we all pull together when another family member requires support on finding a solution for their client.

I see everyone with the same drive, enthusiasm and core values throughout this Network – who needs anyone else, welcome to CROSSTRADES!

Nucleus Mining Logistics has had the privilege of being a member of the CrossTrades network for ten years.

During this time, we have benefited significantly from being part of this network and have formed numerous fruitful and longstanding partnerships with other members who share the same values and work ethic as Nucleus Mining Logistics.

One of the key advantages of the CrossTrades Network is the availability of multiple members in each country, providing access to a wide range of specialized agents. This variety has allowed us to select partners that best suit our specific requirements, whether it be for different routes or types of cargo / projects. This flexibility has proven invaluable for our operations, ensuring we always find the right fit for each unique logistics challenge.

Joining the CrossTrades network has been one of the best decisions we have made as an organization.

We have had the opportunity to offer our clients services from best-in-class forwarder partners—members of CrossTrades —across the globe at competitive costs and with world-class service levels.

Our customers in Nigeria have confirmed and appreciate the extra and quality service we are able to provide as a result.

CrossTrades keeps the family feeling while growing into a professional network.

In the past 7 years that we have been a member of CrossTrades it still has kept the family feeling and has grown into an extremely professional network both in number of countries and members and in its behaviour. The network screens for experience, reliability, trustworthiness and all these aspects makes the members feel comfortable and looked after.

CrossTrades never stops with innovating and adding more services to the network. The major benefit for members is the limited number of members in a country or region so our customer can expect quality from our colleague agents instead of prize-fighters that ruin forwarders reputations.
