What is Booby Buckets?
Chuggs has revealed he runs his own bucket hat business called Booby Buckets.
He got the idea when he graduated Oxford Brookes University back in 2020 and opened the online store last year.
After getting a 2:1 in Business Management, Chuggs now works full-time at Booby Buckets, with the company specialising in hats for University sports teams.
The logo is based on the Blue Footed Booby Bird found only on the Galapagos Islands, while the site says it offers ‘timeless, high quality’ hats for any occasion.
Described as the founder, Chuggs’ bio reads: “Having played Rugby all my life it seemed natural to start out our journey providing customisations for sports clubs/teams close to home.

The company is a ‘British brand run by young entrepreneurs’ and besides bucket hats, they also sell caps, beanies and ‘boonies’.
Booby Buckets are also official Corporate Charity Partners with The Galapagos Conservation Trust who work to protect, educate and research the Galapagos Islands.
