Reach into your pocket and you will probably find evidence of Tesco. Whether it is a Clubcard, mobile phone or just a receipt from one of its 3,000 stores, the UK’s biggest retailer is engrained in everyday British life.

Data released this week showed Tesco’s sales growth outgunning its traditional rivals.
