Default Find text within text

You could use Data TextToColumns to separate the names out into columns,
and then use Copy PasteSpecial Transpose to convert them to rows down one
column.

I have a list of names, each separated by a semi-colon and a space, which I
have pasted into a cell (eg G1 = First Last1; First Last2; First Last3; First
Last4; First Last5)
How do I split out the names into a column so that
A1 = First Last1
A2 = First Last2
A3 = First Last3?
I've used combinations of Find, Mid, Len but I just can't nail the result.
Please help!
