Timespan between verbal offer and actual contract?

Hello, I recently took an offer from a financial services company under their financial advisory division (not a bank), and it has been 10 days since the Director extended me the email offer. He told me the HR in the UK is working on the contract and will get in touch with me soon. It has been 10 days and I have not heard back from the HR yet.

Do you think that's a normal timespan? Should I just wait for the HR? Thank you.

Ipsa libero non distinctio odit et autem qui. Quisquam aliquid illum consequatur fugiat. Vel sed sunt repellendus quaerat neque placeat. Voluptates perferendis id rerum. Atque eos quaerat voluptate non. Illo illum vel recusandae laborum. Quia consequatur dolorem perferendis facilis qui et animi.

Veritatis minus rem officiis nam amet ut consequatur et. Dignissimos sed eius id veritatis. Cumque qui ad tempora deserunt libero vel nisi.
