He represents His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales on the Executive Committee of The Friends of Mount Athos and is a Trustee of The Temenos Academy, of which His Royal Highness is the Patron. He has had a number of Professorial Chairs and for many years was a Fellow of Wolfson College, Cambridge. He is presently a Visiting Professor at The Bartlett School of Planning, University College London and of The Faculty of the Built Environment, at The University of the West of England. He has written and lectured extensively on the subject of land economy and, more recently, has published work that draws upon the teachings of the great spiritual traditions, especially those of Buddhism and his birthright Quakerism. He is the author of a mythic tale, The King Who Lost His Memory and, bringing together The Prince's Foundation and The Temenos Academy, he contributed to and was the joint editor of a collection of essays entitled A Sacred Trust: Ecology From a Spiritual Perspective, which was published in 2002 with a Preface from His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales. Professor Cadman founded and is now the Chairman of Upstream, a strategic consultancy concerned with corporate social responsibility, socially responsible investment and environmental management.
