Historical Highlights
Safeguard was founded in New Orleans in 1989. We experienced explosive growth during the mid ‘90s until 2005, expanding in the South and entering the Mid-Atlantic metropolitan New York and Chicago. The devastation of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 necessitated relocation of our corporate offices from New Orleans to Atlanta. Today, Safeguard thrives by embracing opportunities for growth and continued success.
