Pickerings Lifts has announced a partnership with Daisy Chain to provide sponsorship and support to the charity that supports autistic and neurodivergent people and their families.
Daisy Chain is an award-winning organisation, based on a 5.5 acre site in Stockton-On-Tees, has been developing alongside emerging need for over 20 years
Pickerings, with its headquarters also in Stockton-On-Tees since it began operating in 1854, is one of the leading names in the UK lift industry. They are the trusted partner of thousands of instantly recognisable businesses servicing, repairing and installing lifts, escalators, mobility equipment and loading systems.
As well as providing financial support by sponsoring Daisy Chain’s Night at the Museum Charity Ball in Newcastle (December 2025), Pickerings is also volunteering valuable practical support by making colleagues available to paint their store at Portrack Lane.

The partnership will explore other mutual benefits including how Pickerings can educate and support its workforce around neurodiversity through Daisy Chain’s extensive training offer.
Pickerings Managing Director Paul Brooks said: “As an inclusive company that takes pride in giving back and supporting our communities, we’re delighted to be joining up with Daisy Chain and helping families in any way we can.
“Neurodiversity directly and indirectly affects so many people and I’m excited to grow my own and our organisation’s understanding, to help inform our own practices with Neeraj and his team’s expert guidance.
“We want to make this a long-term commitment to support Daisy Chain in their ambitions to continue to build on their already impressive capabilities and provide even more support to those who need it.”
Neeraj Sharma, CEO at Daisy Chain said: ‘We are a very innovative and ambitious charity, but we couldn’t do what we do without the support of the corporate sector. From volunteering specialist skills to corporate sponsorship and awareness raising, there are so many ways the business community can get involved in our work.
“Together we can create a world that is more inclusive and accepting for every kind of mind, and support from businesses like Pickerings is fundamental to our growth.”
Annually, Daisy Chain supports and empowers more than 8,000 autistic and neurodivergent individuals through the provision of holistic person-centred services, whilst promoting training, wellbeing, inclusion and acceptance regionally and nationwide.
We carried out various activities to support our community, highlight the support available for our colleagues and break the stigma around mental health to encourage open conversations.
