I worked at Capgemini (UK) in their consultancy business a few years ago, and the only HR contact I had there has now left. Is there a general way to approach this issue? It must be pretty common. Who do people normally email when they need a reference - just the generic "info@" email address?Would appreciate any insights - and if specific to Capgemini so much the better :)

Phone them up!

hehe

Surely you know other people there - or was your single contact in the entire time you worked there this lady in HR?
