The Chicago office is the brand’s largest satellite location

Circa has appointed Ed Hartman director of its Chicago office.

Hartman first joined Circa in 2008 as a buyer and eventually became a senior buyer and director of Midwest retail. He returns to the company after having worked for Graff and Trabert & Hoeffer Jewels.

“For several years, Ed worked for Circa successfully running events throughout the Midwest for our retail division and buying from clients in the Chicago office,” said president Richard Tilles in a statement. “Ed is one of our most experienced buyers and is native to the Chicago area. He is familiar with our culture and our philosophy. It is great to have Ed back. His experience, manner, and knowledge will prove to be great assets as we look to expand in the Chicago area.”
