About

Our reputation has been built on a steadfast commitment to delivering the best service possible. Founded by Mr. Thomas I. Lofton, who had over 15 years of experience in human resources management in the chemical industry, our journey began as a franchise of a large national company specializing in temporary staffing.

From its humble origins in a two-room office, Lofton has flourished over the past four decades, becoming a regional leader. Today, we proudly hold the distinction of being the largest locally owned, independent staffing and security company in Louisiana, with a presence spanning across the state, Texas, Arkansas, and Mississippi.

Entering its second generation of ownership, Lofton is now led by co-presidents Bret and Bart Lofton, the sons of founder Tommy Lofton. Since assuming leadership in 2002, the brothers have overseen the growth of Lofton, which now employs over 8,100 assignment employees and security officers. Backed by a dedicated team of over 100, we are committed to providing our employees and clients with the necessary resources at a moment’s notice.
