Reference Email Address

So I have a generic company reference email address from my past job. I just wondered how these kind of email addresses worked when applying for a new job?

This doesn't make sense, have another go at explaining the situation.

I previously worked for Greggs and they have a specific generic email for references - [email protected]. But I worked at a particular branch of Greggs. If I was providing this address as details for a reference, I was wondering if I would accompany my managers name from my branch along with it?

If it’s a big company then the head office will usually just provide a ‘bookend’ style reference with confirmation of your dates and job title etc. You can still name your manager, but depending on Greggs policy they may not pass it along to them.
