=TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"/",REPT(" ",100)),99))

riffing on @eiannone's response:

=IFERROR(IF(SEARCH("/",A1,1), TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"/",REPT(" ",LEN(A1))),LEN(A1)-1))), A1)

Wrapping the TRIM in a conditional that looks for the / character - otherwise the first character gets trimmed improperly.
