Strong Asian sales and an improved performance in UK helped retail major Tesco post a 3.8% growth in like-for-like sales for the five-week holiday season ended 5 January 2013, when compared to the corresponding period of 2012.
Like-for-like sales in UK grew 1.8% for the period as the six-point improvement plan to 'Build a Better Tesco' is beginning to deliver results.
UK sales were fueled by a rebound in food sales, especially online food retail which grew 18% over 2011 figures.
