Thomas Percy Bennett was the son of Robert Isaac Bennett architect (Royle and Bennett). About 1908, he entered into partnership with George Henry Pye, under the style of Pye and Bennett, with offices at 2 Booth Street, Manchester, a partnership which continued for almost 40 years. It was dissolved by mutual consent on 25 March 1947, presumably upon the retirement of George Henry Pye. Thomas Percy Bennett continued the business alone, but died in 1950. Their major client during the inter-war period was Hardy’s Crown Brewery Limited

 Thomas Percy Bennett died at his residence on 12 December 1950, aged 78, and was interred at Brooklands Cemetery, Sale. [Manchester Guardian 14 December 1950 page 8]
