Argos owner hails technology boost

Catalogue chain Argos reported a return to sales growth as demand for iPads and Kindles offset declining interest in video games and MP3 players.

Argos parent Home Retail Group said the continued improvement in consumer electronics resulted in like-for-like sales growth of 1.4% in the 13 weeks to September 1, following a 0.2% drop in the first quarter.
