Default Remove left text string

I have a column of text which has 42 characters (which are the same) and then
names of various clients. I'd like to get a formula to remove the first 42
characters and just give me the names of each client. I've tried with LEFT
and RIGHT, but to no avail.

Thanks for any help,

Luc
