Black-owned firm commits to $2 million, 30 jobs in New Orleans
Enhancing a strong presence in local, regional and national markets, Hammerman & Gainer International, Inc. (HGI)—the largest African American owned third party administration company in the nation— has relocated its corporate headquarters to downtown New Orleans.
The move will provide approximately 30 full time jobs within the company, which currently boasts 335 employees and 12 offices in Louisiana, Texas, Georgia and Washington DC.
Larry D. Oney, sole owner and chairman of HGI, says the move is indicative of the company’s pledge to the city’s economic landscape.
“Our firm, HGI, is totally committed to the City of New Orleans and more importantly to good jobs for the people that live in the city. Many firms in the area that do what we do as high level administrators and program managers have long since moved their operations outside of the city,” he said. “Moving our corporate headquarters to New Orleans demonstrates HGI’s high commitment level to the City of New Orleans.”
In all, the relocation equates to a US$2 million investment in New Orleans.
