Do you want to work at TruffleShuffle?

Exciting news folks - TruffleShuffle.com are looking to recruit a part time customer services assistant/administrator.

ABOUT US:

A longstanding love affair with all things 80's and a chance encounter with a Dukes of Hazzard T-Shirt were responsible for the start of all things TruffleShuffle. After bringing said T-Shirt back from the US of A, our founder proudly wore it to the pub and after getting tonnes of comments from his fellow revellers, came up with the idea for a site which was dedicated to all things retro. We decided to name ourselves after the famous dance from another 80's classic, The Goonies and 10 Years and many, many T-Shirts (not to mention all the funky gifts, accessories and other retro bits and bobs we offer too!) later, we've never looked back. Run by a clutch of 80's and 90’s kids (and a couple of 60's kids!) we absolutely love what we do and we hope you do too.
