You can achieve this easily using the text to columns tool and a ";" as a delimiter. 

 

See attached.

If you'd like to use Regex, you could use Regex Parse with the following expression:

 

([^;]*)(.*)

 

This will give you two fields: 

1) Everything upto the first ; which is what you want

2) Everthing else. You can then drop this field in a select too.

 

Hope that helps.
