Up for the cup: Chelsea captain Erin Cuthbert on her coffee side hustle, Ruby Alba
Being captain of the team that has won the Women’s Super League eight times in the last decade might be enough to keep most people busy, but not Chelsea’s Erin Cuthbert.

Chelsea captain Erin Cuthbert is making waves off the pitch with her own coffee business, Ruby Alba. Cuthbert, 28, launched the venture earlier this year to satisfy her entrepreneurial ambitions and secure her future after football. Despite not initially realizing the feasibility of running a business alongside her football career, Cuthbert was driven by her passion for coffee and her desire to create something of her own.
With a background in business and an MBA, Cuthbert manages all aspects of Ruby Alba, including sales, marketing, and social media, with support from Constant Contact, an AI-powered marketing platform. She draws on her extensive coffee knowledge, having consumed seven cups a day over the past decade, to curate her menu. Cuthbert's coffee is currently supplied to Chelsea teammates and England cricketers.
Despite a knee injury that forced her to halt pre-launch plans in June, Cuthbert remains optimistic about the future of her business and its potential to grow while she continues her football career.
