The Words-Worth Team

We are a Bonn-based British team who speak fluent German and translate exclusively from German into English.

Robin Stocks (resident in Germany since 1989) originally worked in industry and as a sales representative before going on to gain a BA in International Business with Languages at Sheffield Hallam University (UK). Inspired by his placement year in Germany, Robin returned to Bonn where he established a successful translation business in 1991. Alongside his freelance translation activities, he was co-proprietor and managing director of a software company, Cybox Communications, from 1994 to 1997. His second foreign language is French. One of Robin's great passions (apart from Carol) is classical music. He plays first viola in the Bonner Orchesterverein (Bonn's main amateur symphony orchestra), and also plays piano and violin.

After five years' service at NATO headquarters in both Germany and Denmark, Carol Gehrke-Stocks settled in Bonn in 1984. She continued to work in an international environment, gathering translation-related experience as a Marketing Assistant at the Australian Trade Department, as an Administrative Assistant at the Institute for European Environmental Policy (the forerunner of the Wuppertal Institute) and as a Contract Specialist in Procurement at the American Embassy. She became a freelance translator in 1999. Carol is a member of the Associated Stress Consultants, specialising in stress in the workplace and corporate stress management. She dedicates much of her free time to studying for her BSc in Human Geography with the Open University (UK). Carol's second foreign language is Danish. She shares Robin's passion for classical music and is currently learning violin.
