If its only just your work address and not your home address then it shouldnt make any difference!! You could always email them, include your number and explain to rest your mind.

Agree with chocolateorange88, send them the additional info using the nationality email contact/telephone numbers and it's nothing to be too worried about. If you've given the HO your company's contacts (telephone, email etc) then you should be fine. Organizations rarely communicate for references through post these days.

Congratulations Saanju!

I have a question and would like peoples opinions on it.

Due to the ISIS and terrorism going, do you think they do a lot more extensive checking for those from mainly Islamic countries... such as applicants from Iraq Iran Suria Turkey Pakistan Afghanistan etc??
