Robbie Graham

Robbie joined the Cardoner Network as CEO in August 2019. He is an Honours graduate of the University of London and has enjoyed a very successful career in various industries, including Unilever, Vodafone and the British military. He has experience running his own businesses, including business consultancy, where he has supported other established entities and start ups.

Fr. Ramesh Richards SJ

Rector of The Cardoner Network 

Fr. Ramesh was the Assistant Director of The Cardoner Network from 2014 to 2016 and returned as the Rector of the ministry in 2020. He has a wide range of chaplaincy experiences in high school, university, hospital and prison settings. He is particularly interested in helping young people develop their friendship with Jesus Christ through the Spiritual Exercises of St.Ignatius. He believes it is through this particular friendship, one is able to appreciate ones place in the world, and respond to the injustices one sees around them.
