Thank you all for the response. I really appreciate it. I receive daily rate fo...

You can always phone to hmrc and ask them for your employment history. If they have used ur national insurance then agency name will come there.

Technically he can only use his NI for his own company(which he used for visa purpose). But in ur friend case it might or might not create problem.
