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.
