Hi,
I don't see any reason why the past perfect should be used in the
second part of your sentence. I would use the past simple:
"When I came here last year, one person from that company gave

Though, the past perfect is also a possible variant, but I'd add "already"
to emphasize the completeness of the action:
"When I came
